Complaints of Police excess are quite frequent these days and emerged as a major concern for common people. While cops are responsible to maintain law and order, different acts of atrocities are forcing the public into trouble. Such acts of atrocities by the first responders also raise eyebrows over public safety.
In this social media age, several videos showing police excess can be found in abundance. Meanwhile, a video has recently surfaced that shows an unpleasant act of a cop.
In the video, several people can be seen sleeping on the platform of a railway station. Meanwhile, a cop walks to the people while holding a water bottle. Shockingly, he pours water on the faces of the sleeping people.
The sleeping people immediately wake up. They sit up but after finding the cop, they remain silent.
The video shared on Twitter by AISHA KHAN has gone viral and left the internet divided. While some netizens condemned such an act of the cop, several others have stepped in to support.
As per the users supporting the cop, sleeping on the platform at railway stations is strictly prohibited and there are restrooms at different stations for such purposes. And by waking up the sleeping people, the cop just did his duty averting overcrowding at the platform.
One user wrote, “Why the word shameful? If tomorrow the platform is filled with people and ur train is missed. , then u wud be first to write that police cannot control. Way of handling can be questioned but not shameful.” (sic)
“Yeah its shameful on the part of people who sleeps on the platform instead of hiring retiring room at Rs 10. Also there is security issue if every people sleeps like this. This mindset of Freebies needs to be changed if we really want to a developed country,” wrote another user. (sic)
A third user wrote, “Shameful ka kya baat he bhai station meh Sona mana he sabko pata he Police bhi apna duty kar rha tha.” (sic)
As claimed, the incident took place at Pune Railway Station. However, the authenticity of the claims and the video couldn’t be verified.
