"It seems a drunk man was creating ruckus and the two policemen used force against him," Additional Superintendent of Police (ASP) Shashank Garg said.

After the video came to light, head constable Krishna Dongre and constable Ashish were "line-attached" (taken off field duty) on Saturday, he said.

 

A sub divisional officer of police (SDOP) would be conducting an inquiry, on the basis of which further action would be taken, he said.
