Bengaluru: After facing flak on social media after a video of a traffic cop kicking a disabled woman in full public view went viral, Karnataka police have taken swift action against the erring cop.

Police on Sunday suspended a police officer, Assistant Sub-Inspector (ASI) Narayan, after he allegedly kicked and assaulted a differently-abled woman in public after the latter hurled stones injuring him while being on duty in Bengaluru.

According to police, the differently-abled woman identified as Manjula had all of a sudden hurled a stone at ASI Narayan while he was sitting inside a towed vehicle, IANS reported.

The stone allegedly hit Narayan’s face and he started bleeding. Enraged by the act of the woman, the ASI kicked her repeatedly, abused and held her by the hair dragging her all over the road.

Though the people asked the policeman to let the woman go as she is reported to be mentally unfit, Narayan continued assaulting the woman. Later, he lodged a complaint with the S.J. Park police station and the woman was taken into custody.

Meanwhile, the people recorded a video of the incident and posted it on social media. As the video went viral, the people condemned the brutal attack on the woman by the police official.

Bengaluru Police Commissioner, Kamal Pant has now suspended the ASI for assaulting the differently-abled woman in public.

Police sources said that the woman has a crippled hand and hated towing vehicles by the police, so she hurled stones at the police wherever she saw them. The investigation is underway.
