Video Clip Shows UP Police Officer Assaulting Woman Complainant, Holding Her By The Throat

Lucknow, August 13 (TNA) At a time when the Uttar Pradesh Police is trying its best to change its image and come across as a people-friendly force, a video clip from Jhansi seems to have undone all the good work elsewhere.

In the video clip that is doing round on the social media, a police sub-inspector at the Premnagar Police station can be seen lunging at a woman complainant who reportedly had gone to the police station with something to report.

The police sub-inspector can then be seen holding the woman by her throat and then slapping her. The polcieman then runs to get hold of the son of that woman who was filming the whole episode and narrating what was happening.

People on the social media are questioning if "this was the Ram Rajya" that the BJP government was speaking about? There is so far no official word on the matter from the police.
