Sources said Naval Kishore Pandey, who is over 70 years old, is a teacher at a private school in Kaimur district and was going home after school when his cycle skidded on a busy street. This led to a traffic jam behind him. Soon, two constables came and asked him to remove the cycle. The elderly man, however, struggled to lift the cycle.
This left the policewomen infuriated and they started beating him black and blue.
The whole incident of policewomen unleashing their canes on the elderly person was caught on camera. A video of the incident shows the two constables hitting him, while he tries to shield himself. Several blows land on his hands. He pleads with them to let him leave, but the two women continue to hit him and shout at him.
Surprisingly, despite being a busy road with people seen passing by, no one tried to stop the assault or help the elderly man. People are seen passing by casually.
The video has gone viral on social media and is drawing harsh criticism from netizens.
Delhi Women’s Commission (DCW) chief Swati Maliwal also shared the video and tagged Deputy CM Tejashwi Yadav, demanding strict action against the cops.
कैसे ये पुलिसकर्मी एक बुज़ुर्ग को डंडे से बेरहमी से पीट रही हैं 😡
बताया जा रहा है बाबा स्कूल में टीचर हैं और उनका क़सूर ये था कि इन मैडमों के सामने इनकी साइकिल गिर गई। @YadavTejashwi जी, कार्यवाही कीजिए pic.twitter.com/CxFrmVRuLJ— Swati Maliwal (@SwatiJaiHind) January 21, 2023
Meanwhile, Bihar police tweeted that they have initiated action against the women police personnel.
The viral video is of JP Chowk under Bhabua. Two women BHG personnel posted on traffic duty are beating a person. Taking cognizance of the incident, SP Kaimur has given the inquiry to SDPO Bhabhua. An application has been given to the DM for action against both the personnel.
