Cop Grabs Elderly Man by Collar in Kanpur

शर्मनाक!!

@Uppolice के एक दरोगा ने बुजुर्ग को बीच सड़क पर पीटा, गिरेबां पकड़कर धकियाया. जमकर गाली-गलौज किया.

वीडियो वायरल हुआ तो @kanpurnagarpol के एक 'साहेब' के कहने पर दरोगा ने अपमानित बुजुर्ग को "सॉरी" बोल दिया और मामला... रफा-दफा.@CMOfficeUP @myogioffice pic.twitter.com/xAxehaht9f
