Former India off-spinner Harbhajan Singh has called out the behavior of two police officers against an elderly man. In a video that is going viral, a man in his 70s fell from his bicycle. He struggled to pick up his bicycle which irked the cops. As they lost their patience, they decided to beat up the innocent man brutally. A media house uploaded a video of the incident on Twitter.
Talking about the incident, Naval Kishore Pandey was going home after teaching some children at a private school when his cycle skidded in a busy area in Bhabhua, some 200 km from the Bihar state capital Patna. This led to a traffic jam behind him. Soon, two constables came and asked him to remove the cycle amid the honking behind. Mr. Pandey, however, struggled to lift the cycle.
The Bihar Police tweeted they are taking action against the two constables.
