The incident occurred on Friday near Tavi Mod in Shimla when the policeman, who was on duty during the President’s visit, instructed Ashish Kumar, a local taxi driver, to remove his vehicles parked on the roadside.
However, Kumar told him that as he was alone, he could remove only one vehicle at a time — either his car or his bike. This irritated the cop, who then warned him of a challan, leading to an argument between the two.
As the ASI proceeded to issue a challan, Kumar started recording a video on his mobile phone, alleging that the policeman was misbehaving with him. The situation escalated when Kumar tried to capture the ASI’s nameplate in the video, during which the officer kicked him.
The video soon went viral on social media, prompting senior police officials to take cognisance of the matter.
Shimla Senior Superintendent of Police (SSP), Gaurav Singh, subsequently suspended the ASI and ordered an inquiry into the incident.
