Air force beats Sgt with golf club & cricket bat - to hide corruption of higher ups?

Good to be home, slept like a baby for the 1st time in weeks :P
The news I’m coming home to though, is enough to keep one up for weeks.
For starters, yet another brutality case, this time in the Air Force. As if anyone believes a sergeant was the only soldier involved in stealing such a huge engine – a soldier they had to beat the shit out of, no less.
Reminded me of the scene in The Kingdom, where a Saudi general tries to beat a confession out of a Saudi cop, except I bet Sgt Tharmendran had it much worse:

(Tharmendran’s father) Nagarajah (left) claimed that two RMAF officers, a Major Azam and a Major Ismail, had beaten and mistreated his son over a period of nearly three weeks from July 2 to 17 last year.
He claimed that Major Ismail made Tharmendran wear a crash helmet, which he then proceeded to hit repeatedly using a golf club and a cricket bat alternatively.
Nagarajah said Major Ismail told his son that he had written the names of all those he had tortured , including Tharmendaran’s on the crash helmet
Nagarajah also claimed that his son was stripped to his underwear in a room where the air-conditioning was going full-blast, and that he was not allowed to sleep, with regular interrogations after midnight.
“All the time, they kept asking him to confess he had stolen the two F5E fighter jet engines from Sg Besi TUDM Base.
“Major Ismail also threatened to shoot my son and (co-accused) Rajandran Prasad,” he said in his report.

This in turn reminds me of how only one Indian cop was ever charged in the death of A. Kugan. Come to think of it, I bet that didn’t do wonders for certain quarters in the PDRM.
Yet another case while I was away, where a father again contests the police version of events – this time a lockup case where a suspect “hanged himself“.
It seems a neverending list :(
How long more are we going to put up with people being thrashed within inches of their lives just to cover up the corruption of the powerful? >:(
