A family conflict erupted last week in Hemapur Tarahathi, within the jurisdiction of Mungra Badshahpur police station, involving a local resident named Taufiq. His adversaries, including one Mujahid, lodged a police complaint against him, alleging assault and verbal abuse.
According to Taufiq's statement, police officers brought him from his residence to the station for interrogation regarding this complaint. He claimed that the station in-charge restrained him by tying him to a pole and subjected him to physical abuse with a belt for thirty minutes.
Following the assault, the victim lost consciousness. The station head's brutality continued as he struck the individual repeatedly with both wooden and plastic chairs. A bystander captured the violent incident on camera, which subsequently spread across social media platforms.

Superintendent of Police Hariram Shankar on Monday said the department, in collaboration with the Udupi District Chamber of Commerce, has planned to install 601 closed-circuit television (CCTV) cameras in 207 junctions in the district.

Trump takes over US Capital: Puts police under his control, deploys National Guard
US President Donald Trump on Monday said he's placing the Washington, DC, police department under federal control and deploying the National Guard, reports news agency AP. "This is Liberation Day in DC, and we're going to take our capital back," the MAGA chief said at a White House press conference. Trump is weighing the deployment of up to 1,000 National Guard troops to Washington, DC, reports CNBC. The GOP leader said he wants to tackle what he calls rising crime and homelessness in the capital. NBC News reported that Trump is also threatening to put the city under federal control. In a Truth Social post on Monday morning, ahead of a White House news conference, Trump wrote: 'Washington, DC will be LIBERATED today! Crime, Savagery, Filth, and Scum will DISAPPEAR. I will, MAKE OUR CAPITAL GREAT AGAIN!' On Sunday, he warned that homeless people in the city would 'have to move out, IMMEDIATELY,' promising they would be relocated 'far from the Capital.' According to official US justice department figures, violent crime in DC is at a 30-year low, but Trump disputes the data, citing claims of manipulation. His push follows the recent assault of a former White House staffer in the city. Trump also criticised a $3.1 billion renovation of the Federal Reserve's headquarters, calling it wasteful. DC mayor Muriel Bowser has rejected Trump's portrayal of the city. On MSNBC's 'The Weekend," Bowser said that, "People are coming to our capital. by Taboola by Taboola Sponsored Links Sponsored Links Promoted Links Promoted Links You May Like Villas Prices In Dubai Might Be More Affordable Than You Think Villas In Dubai | Search Ads Get Quote Undo They're starting business in our capital, and they're raising families in our capital.

In June, the Trump administration deployed the National Guard to Los Angeles, a key Democratic stronghold, to address civil unrest over federal immigration enforcement operations in the city. California governor Gavin Newsom sued the administration, arguing that Trump's actions were unconstitutional. LA mayor Karen Bass doubled down on Newsom's claims.
