A 38-year-old head constable and his colleague were allegedly beaten up by a group of six people, including two women, for questioning them about not wearing masks and gathering outside their houses in the middle of the night at Dayanand Nagar slum in Jayanagar 1st block on Monday night. Gurupada K., along with Home Guard Ravish, was on enforcement duty and returning to the station on his bike when he noticed a group of men standing outside the house and chatting at around 12 a.m. In his complaint, Mr. Gurupada said that since no one was wearing masks and gathering at the odd hours amounts to violation of enforcement, he stopped to inquire. Sensing trouble, a few persons ran away while the accused Mohammed, an autorickshaw driver, confronted them.
