Earlier this year, traffic police personnel in Chevella, on the outskirts of Hyderabad, were caught on camera publicly thrashing two men. The footage, which went viral on social media, showed a traffic police inspector, identified as Venkatesham, and a constable, J Srinu, assaulting the men without provocation.
The video depicted Inspector Venkatesham approaching three men standing by the roadside. Without any clear reason, he was seen aggressively grabbing one of the men by the collar and beating him. The situation quickly escalated as Constable Srinu joined in, targeting another man in the group. A third officer, Keshav, was also present at the scene but did not intervene.
