Two constables were thrashed for allegedly preventing some persons from gambling on "Ugadi" festival day near here, police said today.

The constables, Basappa and Sharanappa, went to a government school in the area yesterday following a tip-off that some people were gambling there on Ugadi, the lunar New Year's day in Karnataka, they said.

Police said the gang verbally abused, thrashed and chased them away.

With the video of the incident going viral, police launched a crackdown and nabbed four of them.

"So far we arrested Kumar, Sandeep, Murthy and Murali," police said.

There were at least a dozen peopleinvolved in the attack, they added.
