A shocking video from Ghaziabad, UP, has sparked outrage on social media, showcasing a cop's appalling treatment of an e-rickshaw driver. In the video, the officer is seen dragging the driver by his hair, unmoved by the young man's screams for mercy.
According to sources, the cop, Sub-Inspector Bhanu Prakash, and the e-rickshaw driver, identified as Sohail, are the individuals in the video. It shows the cop brutally assaulting Sohail, who is pleading for release while being yanked by his hair.
Following the video's virality on social media, the public has demanded action against the offending police officer. As a result, local authorities have acknowledged the incident, with ACP Wave City tasked with the investigation.
The accused cop Bhanu Prakash has been stationed at a post in Wave City for the past several months. It is rumored that the violence erupted over a dispute related to parking the e-rickshaw on the street.
ACP Wave City, Poonam Mishra, communicated over the phone that the video showing a cop beating an e-rickshaw driver is under investigation. Both the cop and the victim have been summoned for questioning.
According to ACP Poonam Mishra, the video's depiction of Sub-Inspector Bhanu Prakash physically assaulting the driver not only contravenes police conduct but is also ethically reprehensible. The investigation is ongoing and will determine the legal proceedings to follow.
