Haryana Cops Caught Thrashing Woman With Belt on Video, Sacked

The video shows two cops circling the woman while she narrates an incident and some other policemen recording the incident using objectional language.

New Delhi: Hours after a horrific video surfaced showing some Haryana policemen harassing and beating a woman with a belt while questioning her in the dead of the night, two head constables have been suspended and three special police officers sacked.

The video shows two cops circling the woman while she narrates an incident and some other policemen recording the incident using objectional language. The cops then start to thrash her with a belt, intimating her and trying to illicit a hurried response from her.

Absolutely shameful! These cops need to be arrested and removed from service with immediate effect. Pathetic situation for women in Haryana! https://t.co/NEyKYb0sLX
