Bihar cops thrash commandant after ailing lady constable dies

Mangalore Today News Network

Patna, Nov 02, 2018 : Responsible for maintaining law and order, cops in Bihar took law in their own hands and shred it to pieces when they thrashed a commandant for reportedly not granting leaving to an ailing lady constable. The woman later passed away, Zeenews reported.

 

Police personnel, enraged after the death of their colleague, decided to surround the commandant in big numbers and unleashed a barrage of assaults on him. Some of them were even seen thrashing him with batons and other sharp objects even as the commandant struggles to escape from the scene with a bloodied head.

The violent form of protest from the cops is likely to cause massive embarrassment to the Bihar Police which has a rather tarnished and much-maligned image even otherwise.

Little wonder then that officials have called for calm and have assured that the matter would be investigated.
