What is the truth?
The viral video of a police inspector attacking a youth in the Chinna Salem area did not happen recently but occurred in 2020. The incident has been published on several news channels at the time.

This angered the Police Inspector Sudhakar and he entered the house of Sakthivel at midnight on April 10, grabbed his shirt, pulled him out of the house and severely beat him. The video taken at that time has been shared on social media.
