Narsinghpur (Madhya Pradesh): A dispute was reported between a trader and police in Madhya Pradesh's Narsinghpur, a video of which surfaced on the internet on Tuesday.
According to information, the incident occurred in Kareli town. It escalated into a violent clash, with videos of both sides assaulting each other now going viral on social media.
In the video, 4-5 policemen can be seen holding a youth by his collar, forcing him to the ground and beating him brutally. Later on, the trader also is seen manhandling a policeman.
The incident began when local trader Dipanshu Yadav parked his vehicle outside a bank. According to him, policemen tried to tow away the vehicle without informing him. When he objected, an argument broke out which soon turned into a physical fight.
Later, he alleged that police dragged him to the Kareli police station and thrashed him further in the presence of Station In-charge Priyanka Kewat.
