New Delhi: In a shocking incident in the national capital Head constable Satish Chandra posted at circle Tuglak road was today arrested for allegedly being involved in a scuffle with a woman and subsequently attacking her with a brick. The incident took place at Golf Links, when the lady was on the way to drop her kids to school.
A video has surfaced which shows a scuffle breaking out between the woman and Chandra. The mobile clip shows a woman hurling a stone at the policeman’s bike, while the errant cop is seen attacking back the woman with a brick. The video clip clearly shows the lady getting hit on her back.
Speaking to the media, Delhi Police Commissioner BS Bassi informed that the head constable has been suspended and an inquiry has been ordered. “A criminal case has also been registered in the case,” Bassi said.
While providing first-hand information to news agency, Kamal Kant, who shot the video, said that the lady alleged that the traffic cop had stopped her after she jumped a red light and asked for Rs 200 as penalty.
However, when she refused to pay the penalty without a receipt, a heated argument broke out resulting into the fight. Meanwhile, the woman said that the cop should be strictly punished so that everyone thinks twice before repeating such an act.
Reacting to the incident, Delhi Home Minister and AAP leader Satyendra Jain said he will look into the case and do whatever is required. Delhi Commission for Women (DCW) chief Barkha S Singh maintained that she will ask for a departmental inquiry against the cop and ensure appropriate punishment.
