nAfter the street fight between cops and driver in Mukherjee Nagar on Sunday snowballed into a political row, the Delhi Police swung into action. Three cops were suspended for unprofessional conduct during a violent clash with a tempo driver, who chased their colleague with a sword after his vehicle collided with a police van in northwest Delhi, an official said on Monday.
The official said further legal action will be taken after an inquiry is conducted by the deputy commissioner of police (northwest) and the additional DCP and ACP of Mukherjee Nagar. Additional PRO (Delhi Police) Anil Mittal said policemen suspended handled the incident in an unprofessional manner. A police officer was injured after he was allegedly attacked by the driver. The tempo driver had also chased him swinging a sword at him following a collision between their vehicles, videos of which have gone viral.
