Woman beaten up for complaint of molestationn

Tarn Taran (Agencies): Policemen in Punjab are seen clearly on camera hitting a young woman who allegedly tried to complain about molestation by a truck driver. The shocking footage was shot on a cellphone by a witness.

Four policemen have been suspended for the brutal assault. The 23-year-old woman says she was harassed by the truck driver while returning from a wedding party.

Her family then decided to approach constables who they spotted on the road at Tarn Taran near Amritsar. But, the woman says, instead of helping her, the policemen took a bribe from the driver and started beating her.

Despite the footage, a senior police officer tried to defend the cops involved. "I don't think our cops did anything (wrong)... they were actually trying to intervene and stop the fight between two sides," said Sukhbir Singh, who heads the local police station.
