In MP, This Woman Was Brutally Thrashed By A Group Of Police Officers For Not Wearing A Mask

If there is anything I have learned from this pandemic it’s that there are people in this world who are so thick-headed that despite numerous warnings and surging cases, they still don’t understand basic safety protocols. Wear a mask and sanitize your hands. It’s not rocket science. Every single day the police and the local authorities catch dozens of people walking around, throwing caution to the wind and ignoring the grim COVID situation we are in. But you don’t need me to tell you all this and it’s not what this article is about but it’s important to remember. Today, I wanted to talk to you’ll about a particular incident that occurred in MP when a woman was caught by the police walking about maskless. The cops beat her up in the middle of the street. Pushed her and thrashed her all in front of her daughter who was trying her best to stop them but couldn’t. Talk about police brutality.

I am all for fining and punishing the people who flout COVID safety norms. But what happened with this woman in Madhya Pradesh is most definitely not acceptable. The group of cops who stopped her must be held accountable for manhandling and beating her. I don’t know what they teach the police officers in MP but I am pretty sure what happened here isn’t the protocol. Reportedly, this woman and her daughter were walking to the grocery store in Madhya Pradesh’s Sagar district when cops stopped them for not wearing a mask. Then they proceeded to thrash her. A woman cop even dragged this woman on the street by her hair.

A video of this entire gruesome incident is going viral on social media. In it, the woman is seen struggling while the police officers continue to beat her. The woman police officer also tries multiple times to make the woman sit in a police car so they can take her but the woman keeps resisting which only makes the cops angrier and more violent. Her daughter tries very hard to stop them from hurting the woman but she too is pushed aside multiple times.

We live in a democracy where this kind of corporal punishment can’t be tolerated one bit. I understand that amid the pandemic, it was foolish and wrong of the woman to roam about maskless but I am sure there are better ways to handle the situation. The police officers involved should face an inquiry. This kind of brutality is unacceptable and shameful.
