'An atrocity': Furious SC blasts Gujarat cops for public flogging of Muslims in Kheda

The Supreme Court strongly rebuked the Gujarat Police for publicly assaulting five Muslims in a Kheda district village in 2022. Justices BR Gavai and Sandeep Mehta, while hearing an appeal by four police personnel against contempt and guideline violations, questioned the police's authority to beat individuals tied to poles. The cops are facing criminal prosecution, departmental proceedings, and a NHRC inquiry.
