Police Brutality Returns to Spotlight

July 17, 2025 : Yet another disturbing video has emerged from Tamil Nadu , this time from the city of Okadam, raising serious concerns over the state of police conduct and civil liberties.

This latest episode comes in the wake of the custodial torture and tragic death of Ajit Kumar in Sivakasi, which has already sent shockwaves across the nation. Since then, a series of unsettling videos have surfaced from different parts of Tamil Nadu, each one more troubling than the last, painting a bleak picture of escalating police violence.

In the Okadam video, a group of policemen is seen forcibly pulling a man out of a white BMW, following what appears to be a heated exchange. What follows is deeply disturbing: the man is subjected to physical assault in broad daylight—beaten with lathis, slapped repeatedly, and publicly humiliated.

However, in a surprising twist, another video has emerged featuring a man who identifies himself as Abu Tar. He claims to be the person seen in the BMW and offers a different version of events. According to him, the police were conducting routine drunk driving checks, and a compromise was reached on the spot. He insists he has no complaints against the officers involved.

While this alternate account appears to downplay the severity of the incident, the original footage tells a starkly different story—one that cannot be easily ignored or dismissed.

The emergence of conflicting narratives does little to alleviate the growing public unease. What it does underscore is the urgent need for transparent investigations, judicial oversight, and real accountability within the police force. These visuals—no matter the context—demand scrutiny, not silence.

In a democratic society, state power must not translate into unchecked force. Tamil Nadu’s string of incidents raises a crucial question: When does law enforcement cross the line into lawlessness? And more importantly, who holds them accountable when it does?

Justice cannot be a matter of convenience. It must be upheld, even—and especially—when those entrusted with it become its violators.
