A recent incident involving the Andhra Pradesh (AP) police has sparked controversy and garnered attention online. During a visit to Kavali by Chief Minister YS Jagan, political tensions escalated as the Bharatiya Janata Yuva Morcha (BJYM) staged a protest, attempting to block CM Jagan’s convoy.
In response to the protest, the AP police increased security measures and detained BJYM activists who tried to disrupt the CM’s convoy. A viral picture emerged, capturing the moment when BJYM Vice President Suresh was subjected to alleged police brutality.
The leader of the Telugu Desam Party (TDP), Chandrababu Naidu, strongly criticized the actions of the AP police in a tweet. Naidu expressed his concern, stating, “When authorities deviate from the principles of democracy, such reprehensible incidents occur. It is crucial for people from all walks of life to come together and condemn this shocking act of insensitivity.” He accompanied his statement with a quote from civil rights activist and advocate of peace, Martin Luther King Jr.
The photograph of BJYM leader Suresh has since gone viral, drawing widespread attention. Several print media outlets featured the picture prominently in their Saturday editions.
The incident has triggered a public debate about the alleged excesses of the AP police and has raised questions about the use of force in handling political protests. As the situation continues to unfold, it remains to be seen how the authorities will respond to these allegations of police misconduct.
