Altercation Outside Victim’s Home
According to a report by Aaj Tak, the young man was sitting outside his house when approached by the police. Upon being asked why he was there, he reportedly replied that it was his home and that the real questions should be directed at thieves roaming late at night. The exchange is said to have angered the policemen, who then proceeded to beat him.
No Police Statement Yet
