A traffic policeman has filed an assault complaint against a couple even as the latter has lodged a cross case against the cop for allegedly misbehaving with them.

According to the FIR filed by Head Constable Rajbir, the couple allegedly beat up him and his colleague, constable Rajesh, and tore their uniform after the duo intercepted the couple for using cellphone while driving, near Sikanderpur metro station on Sunday evening. The head constable alleged that when he signalled down the vehicle, the man behind the wheel refused to cooperate.

‘Abusive’ couple

According to the FIR, the woman in the car started abusing the policemen and the couple pushed Rajbir, who fell on the bonnet and injured his hand. Rajbir was taken to Neelkanth Hospital. A case has been registered against the couple on charges of causing hurt and deterring a public servant from discharge of his duty, at DLF Phase-I police station.

The woman, a resident of Sector 51, in her complaint has said that the policemen misbehaved with them and also broke their car’s glass.

Cops’ misconduct

The woman claimed that she was driving and talking over the phone when she was signalled down. She pleaded with them to let her go as her children were unwell. At this the policemen started misbehaving with the couple.

The woman also claimed her children were hurt in the incident.
