An eyewitness to the incident of a traffic policeman hitting a woman with a brick in New Delhi has said that the policeman attacked the woman without any provocation.
The man identified as Kamal Pandey, who has also captured the incident in a video, said that it was the policeman who started the whole thing.
He said the head constable , Satish Chand, stopped the womanriding a two-wheeler with two girls and a toddler. He asked her for her driving licence and when she was not able to produce it, he asked her to pay Rs. 200.
“It all started when Satish asked for Rs. 200 from the woman who couldn’t produce her original driving licence and had a photocopy instead. When the woman said that she would not give money unless the constable issued a challan to her, he picked up an argument. When the woman tried to drive away, Satish pulled it back. She along with the girl fell off,” Mr. Pandey, a driver with a Supreme Court advocate, said.
“In a fit of anger, the woman thrashed Satish’s motorcycle with a stone. Soon after, the constable picked up a brick from ground and threw it towards the woman. It hit her on waist and she fell down,” he said.
Some other women gathered at the spot and started hitting him, but he attacked them too.
“I have a recorded evidence of the entire incident which shows that the head constable hit the woman with brick in front of her daughter,” Mr. Pandey, said.
