Developments: 2. In late July 2026, videos from Indore, Madhya Pradesh, showed police escorting five accused individuals—hand‑cuffed and leg‑shackled—through city streets after a car‑bike collision. The footage also captured the suspects removing plaster that had been applied to their hands upon entering the district jail, prompting accusations that the police display was staged. The incident triggered an inquiry by Madhya Pradesh police, with senior officials promising strict action. A few days later, additional video circulated showing officers affixing a fake plaster and restraints to two suspects before the public parade, followed by the suspects discarding the plaster outside the jail. Media reports alleged that the police extracted a bribe of about 20,000 rupees for the staged display. Senior officials, including the Additional DCP, ordered a detailed investigation into both the alleged misconduct and the bribery claims. The controversy has heightened public outrage and raised questions about police accountability in Indore. ## Timeline ### 2026-07-31: Indore Police Staged Fake Plaster on Criminals, Video Sparks Corruption Probe A viral video shows Indore police faking injuries on suspects with plaster, later discarded, sparking bribery allegations and an official probe ordered by Addl.
