A 32-year-old traffic police sub-inspector was beaten up by a crowd after he allegedly misbehaved with a woman motorist in Link Road area here this evening, police said.
The incident took place near Dabur Crossing when the woman along with her brother was going to Mohan Nagar area from Delhi on a scooty.
Traffic Police Sub-Inspector Virendra Singh was managing traffic at the crossing.
"The scooty was hit by a car near Dabur Crossing. The woman then approached Singh for his intervention in the matter," said a police official.
The official said locals told the police that instead of helping her, Virendra got annoyed and misbehaved with the woman. This angered passersby who started beating him, he said.
