TN cop publicly thrashes daughter

Chennai: A police sub-inspector has beaten up his 20-25 -year-old daughter in public in Tamil Nadu. Passers-by were mute spectators to the incident. She was rescued when two women rushed to help her before alerting the police. The victim was beaten up by her father Rajaram, a sub-inspector with Madurai police. Rumours of the victim’s alleged “affair” triggered the incident and the parents said that they were “teaching her a lesson.” Her mother, a teacher by profession, did not give a helping hand. Originally from Madurai and currently working in Bengaluru, the victim has denied the rumours. Her parents wanted to force her to move back to Madurai and arrange a wedding as soon as possible to someone of their choice as she had brought “shame upon the family”.
