Hyderabad: Tensions erupted outside the Marpally Police Station in Vikarabad district after allegations surfaced that police had assaulted two young men from the nearby Patloor village in connection with a murder case.
According to reports, one of the youths managed to escape from the police station after suffering injuries from the alleged beating, which he later communicated to local residents.
