Police brutality against unprivileged people is far worse than we imagine. When a misunderstanding occurs, the person wrongfully taken into custody is almost always an unprivileged, ordinary individual.
We, the normal people, are treated as nothing more than street dogs—we can be attacked by the police and the powerful, and the only thing we can do is forget and move on. That is the reality of an unprivileged person’s life.
There have been countless cases of custodial deaths where innocent people, who had committed no crime, were wrongfully taken into custody, brutally assaulted, and killed by the police.
This isn’t just happening in Kerala—it’s the same across every state in India. Police brutality against unprivileged, ordinary people is far worse than we imagine. The irony is that they rarely, if ever, wrongfully detain or assault someone from a wealthy or politically powerful background due to a misunderstanding.
This is the stark difference between the privileged and the unprivileged, and it is more evident than ever.
