A traffic cop in Delhi was beaten up by a group of people including two women who accused him of physically assaulting a woman after stopping her scooter for travelling on the wrong side of the road.
Six people, including two women, have been detained in this regard, the police said.
A traffic Inspector, along with a traffic constable, who had gone to the Deoli Road area to help clear the traffic at around 10a.m. stopped a scooter on which three people were travelling. The woman riding it then reportedly got angry and there was a heated argument between the woman and the traffic police. She then allegedly hit the cop which turned into an ugly fight. The woman reportedly fell down during the fight that followed after which locals took note and beat up the cops, chasing them down the road.

The video of the incident shows the woman accusing the traffic inspector for taking away the keys of her scooter. Two women and a man can be seen assaulting the cop, who tries to flee but they chase him down and keep hitting him.

The traffic inspector has been identified as Rajendra Prasad. Police say that according to information received by them, two women and a man were riding on the wrong side of the road and without helmets, which is mandatory in Delhi. That’s when they were stopped by the head constable present at the spot. They allegedly started misbehaving with the constable when traffic inspector Rajendra Prasad called for a crane to tow away the scooter. This reportedly angered the woman who police say started physically assaulting the traffic personnel present there.
