Stress, staff shortage making police brutal in Telangana

Deccan Chronicle  

HYDERABAD: The state during the past few weeks has witnessed several police brutality and high-handed behaviour cases. Even as the state police faced criticism over such incidents, police personnel said that such behaviour is the result of the working conditions of the officers. The Telangana state police is reportedly understaffed and police personnel, mostly at the lower level, are said to be under a lot of work-related stress. Few recent police brutality incidents include the merciless beating up of a tribal man in Suryapet, a commuter getting slapped in front of his daughter in Mahbubabad, torturing of a Dalit man in Nalgonda. Speaking to Deccan Chronicle about such incidents, Additional Director General of Telangana Police Dr Jitender said these are isolated incidents and strict action is taken against those involved in such cases.
