Overview

• Superintendent of Police Dharmaraj Meena directed an internal investigation and a medical examination of constable Rahul Chauhan.
• Authorities said Reserve Inspector Saurabh Kushwaha and his wife will be questioned, with further action to follow the probe’s findings.
• Chauhan alleges he was called to the officer’s government residence late on August 23 and beaten with a belt and slippers after a pet dog went missing.
• He says casteist slurs were used and he sustained injuries to his hands, back, and legs, which he displayed in a viral video.
• After a written complaint at the SC/ST police station initially drew no FIR, family members and JAYS supporters blocked the Khargone–Khandwa Road, and Chauhan also petitioned the SP for strict action.
