Gujarat Flogging

The Supreme Court on Tuesday admonished the Gujarat Police over its officials publicly flogging five people belonging to the Muslim community at a village in Kheda district in 2022.

Four policemen found guilty of contempt of court for flogging some minority community members in Kheda district on Wednesday requested the Gujarat High Court that they be directed to pay compensation rather than being given punishment.

The Gujarat High Court on Wednesday ordered an inquiry by the chief judicial magistrate (CJM) of Kheda district into a 2022 incident where some members of the Muslim community, arrested for stone-pelting, were allegedly flogged by the police.

As many as 1,400 Muslim voters from Undhela village in Gujarat's Kheda district boycotted voting in the state Assembly polls in protest against the public flogging of some men from the community by police two months ago, community leaders claimed.

Some Muslim men were arrested, tied to a pole, and flogged with canes by police personnel in the Kheda district. Crowds were seen cheering as officers watched plain-clothes cops hit the men.

"Do those pelting stones have a religion? Shouldn't there be human rights for those hit by stones? Then why every time the issue of human rights is raised in favour of those hurling stones? This is a point to be considered," he said.

The flogging of some Muslim men, accused of disruptinga Garba event in Gujarat's Kheda, was done by some local cops, sources have told NDTV.
