AP: YSRCP demands action against police brutality in Tenali town

Tenali, May 27 (UNI) The Opposition YSRCP in Andhra Pradesh condemned the AP police for their brutal treatment of three youths in Tenali describing it as a blatant violation of constitutional rights and human dignity.
The police personnel in Tenali town used third degree against three youths by hitting on their soles. The police said that the three youths were notorious offenders, involved in several criminal cases. The police personnel hitting the three youths on their soles with sticks went viral on social media and created a sensational talk of the state. The incident drew flak from all quarters.

Speaking at a press conference, leaders, including former Minister Merugu Nagarjuna, MLC M Arun Kumar, and former MLA Annabathuni Shiva Kumar expressed outrage over the public use of third-degree methods by police, describing the incident as a shameful reflection of the coalition government's failure to protect marginalized communities, particularly Dalits and minorities.

They demanded an immediate inquiry into the incident and strict action against the responsible officers, asserting that such acts of lawlessness cannot be tolerated in a democratic society.

The coalition government of fostering lawlessness, with Nagarjuna stating, “Andhra Pradesh is in a state of anarchy, with Dalits facing unprecedented violence, from desecrating Ambedkar’s statue to public humiliations.

NCRB data shows Andhra Pradesh leads in crimes against Dalits.” Arun Kumar added, “The third-degree treatment of these youths is an attack on every Dalit and minority’s dignity. The Chief Minister must ensure such acts stop.”

Shiva Kumar criticized the police’s lawlessness, saying, “Beating youths in broad daylight and sharing videos of it mocks justice. YSRCP’s rule upheld law; today, institutions are lawless.”

The YSRCP demanded a thorough probe, accountability for the officers, and measures to prevent future atrocities, vowing legal action to protect marginalized communities.
