Police officer grabbed students throat at Mahabubabad protest

A police officer allegedly grabbed two students by their throats while pushing them back during a protest at the Mahabubabad District Collectorate.

The officer appearing in the video that surfaced on Wednesday, August 19, has been identified as Mahabubabad Town Inspector Raghupathi Reddy. It shows Reddy, along with other officers, pushing



back polytechnic students who held a protest at the collectorate.

While trying to restrain them, Reddy grabs the throat of a male student and does not let go till the student pushes his hand back and frees himself from the officer’s grip. Reddy then grabs the throat of another male student, this time more deliberately, to push him back.
