New Delhi: A Delhi Police officer has been suspended after being seen kicking and assaulting a group of Muslim men offering Salah (prayers) on Friday by the side of a road.
According to reports, they were praying outside because the mosque was filled to capacity.
In a shocking 34-second video, the officer – in-charge of a police post in Delhi’s Inderlok area – is seen kicking two men from behind; he even seems to strike the second one on his neck.
Angry protesters later blocked the road to demand action against the cop. However, Delhi Police immediately suspended the officer.
MK Meena, the Deputy Commissioner of Police (Delhi North), said that in the incident that happened today, the police post-in-charge – who was seen in the video – was suspended with immediate effect. Necessary disciplinary action is also being taken.
