The police are supposed to fight crime, but these cops took to beating each other up instead. They were apparently fighting over the distribution of ‘hafta’ and decided to express their discontent by physically assaulting each other. The policemen can be seen dragging and kicking each other with no concern for onlookers. They only stopped after other cops intervened. The footage went viral after a bystander recorded it on their phone.
The incident took place in Lucknow, UP, and this isn’t their first rodeo. A similar thing happened in May, when constables who were part of UP CM Akhilesh Yadav’s security team decided to beat each other up at a public event, in full view of media cameras.
