During his interrogation, SHO Sugan Singh asked Suresh to pluck hair from his beard, while the policemen there made a video of the act and shared it on social media.

The accused could be seen in pain as tears kept rolling down his cheek, but it did not have any effect on the three policemen.

After the video surfaced, some people from the Gurjar community, including Mandal MLA Udaylal Bhadana, met SP Rajan Dushyant and District Collector Namit Mehta and demanded action.
