Are we gonna skim over the fact that these guys aren't handcuffed but instead the police just hold their hands?

It’s a friendship chain. The bond can never be broken.

Well it's India, guns are not so prevalent and the crime if not so severe so the cops don't usually bother with cuffs.

It’s customary in India to do this, even for murderers.

I find this bizarre but also hilarious. I mean, they are REALLY holdin' hands, ya'know. I would love to know more about this particular cultural difference haha

Many black males in Africa do this in a friendly, non gay way, as well. Just because it’s different to your culture doesn’t make it wrong/bizzare/hilarious.

Yeah, I got the impression that it could be some sort of shaming / humiliation tactic.

It’s not. The police aren’t legally allowed to handcuff anyone in India unless they’re in danger of escaping. It’s seen as a humanitarian thing.

That's the thing, there might be rules for it, but you know how it is in India, rules are merely guidelines.

I once read that they don't cuff people in India. At least not like in other countries
