Assaulting a policeman is indefensible, whatever the argument may have been. Whenever the men and women in khaki are accused of excesses, it is right to ask for accountability. Similarly, when they are simply doing their job, they cannot be treated in this manner.

The video of a woman beating the traffic police constable has gone viral on social media, and the traffic police immediately issued a release stating that the woman is lying as the police constable did not abuse her.

The video is about a traffic cop who was assaulted by a violent woman on 26th October, Friday. The woman was seen catching the cop by his collar, stating that he abused her over an argument of not wearing a helmet and slapping him in public, after he stopped the bike on which she was travelling at Kalbadevi. The biker was not wearing a helmet and the constable, Eknath Parte, fined him.

According to the police traffic constable Eknath Parte, attached to the Kalbadevi traffic division, was on duty at Surti Hotel junction at Kalbadevi. Woman identified as Sangrika Tiwari, and biker, Mohsin Shaikh, have been arrested.

The LT Marg police on late Saturday afternoon arrested Sangrika Tiwari and Mohsin Khan from Bhendi Bazaar. Police have booked them under the IPC sections of 353, 332, 504 and 506 of preventing a government servant from discharging his duties, voluntary causing hurt, intentional insult with intent to provoke breach of the peace and criminal intimidation.

Richa Chadha, Bollywood actress best known for Fukrey series, recently posted on her Twitter account with the caption as ‘Despicable! Shameful! Gross.’ about the traffic cop assaulted by a violent woman.
