A traffic constable was severely thrashed by a man in full public glare near Ravi Talkies Square here on Sunday.
An FIR in this regard was lodged at the Traffic police station by the victim cop. The entire episode of the assault was caught on the body-camera fitted on the dress of the traffic constable.
When vehicular movement was at its peak in the afternoon, a verbal duel ensued between the on-duty traffic cop and the man over a traffic-related issue. The situation worsened when the man called some of his associates and manhandled the cop. The man also took out his belt and thrashed the constable.
Surprisingly, the entire incident took place while many people were passing through the crowded road, but no one intervened.
The Traffic police SP assured action after an investigation into the incident.
Police Commissioner, YB Khurania said, “The matter has not come to me yet.
I will find out what is the exact case and appropriate action will be taken.”
