In Meerut, Uttar Pradesh, a video showing a Traffic Sub-Inspector (TSI) assaulting an elderly e-rickshaw driver has gone viral on social media. The footage, captured in Begumpul, Meerut, clearly depicts the officer kicking the senior citizen.
Reports suggest that the e-rickshaw driver was dropping off a passenger in front of the TSI, which displeased the officer. Consequently, the TSI began slapping the driver. Upon reviewing the video, SP Traffic Jitendra Srivastava has indicated that action will be taken.
In a separate incident in Kanpur, a car driver was threatened with a ticket by a traffic policeman during a check, despite presenting all required documents. The situation escalated when the car driver started recording the encounter, leading to the policeman verbally abusing and slapping him. This incident has also become viral on social media.
