Minor dragged on platform by railway cop, probe ordered

A GRP constable was caught on camera dragging a minor, suspected to be a pickpocket, by a towel tied around his neck at Gwalior railway station, prompting authorities to take the cop off field duty and launch a probe.
The incident occurred at platform number 1 on August 27 and a purported video of the act has gone viral after which Government Railway Police (GRP) took head-constable Hari Narayan Singh (50) off field duty.
A passenger had lodged a complaint with the GRP that his pocket was picked. Singh suspected that the boy was the culprit and caught hold of him.

In the video, Singh is purportedly seen dragging through the minor through the platform who appears to have fallen unconscious.
The head-constable was 'line-attached' (taken off the the field duty) to Bhopal yesterday, Bhopal division superintendent railway police (SRP) Awadesh Goswami said.
"My deputy is investigating the incident," Goswami said without divulging more details.
