Tarn Taran (Punjab): Two Punjab police personnel were suspended Monday after they were
caught on camera beating a young woman - who was being sexually
harassed by truck drivers - and her aged father here after she
called police for help.
Punjab Director General of Police (DGP) Sumedh Singh Saini
suspended the two policemen Monday evening. He ordered an inquiry
into the incident, to be conducted by a superintendent of police,
and sought a report within one week.
The incident was recorded by a bystander on his mobile phone
Sunday in this Punjab district, 300 km from Chandigarh, and was
aired by TV news channels.
Three to four policemen slapped the victim, pushed her and hit her
with a baton when she complained that she was being sexually
harassed by truck drivers in the area.
The policemen also beat up her aged father and pushed him to the
ground.
Area police officers denied that such incident had taken place.
Punjab Deputy Chief Minister Sukhbir Singh Badal asked the DGP to
initiate strict action against the Punjab Police personnel for
assaulting the woman at a marriage function in district Tarn Taran.
He said that there would be zero tolerance to any misconduct,
especially against women.
