New Delhi, December 4

A policeman from Lucknow in UP was slapped multiple times by a man in public place saying "Policegiri Dikhayega". A video clip of the incident went viral on social media.

The incident took place with Sub Inspector Vinod Kumar posted at Pilibhit Kotwali.

The Lucknow police arrested four persons who were identified as Ashish Shukla, Priyank Mathur, Pravendra Kumar and Pranjul Mathur.

In the video that went viral on social media,  it could be seen that one man in the group (later identified as Ashish Shukla) slapping the uniformed police officer twice in front of hoards of onlookers. While assaulting the cop, Shukla could be heard saying: “policegiri dikhayega” (loosely translates as you will show and tell us what policing is).

According to the police, the incident occurred when the SI was returning from the office of the minority commission. He was travelling in a four-wheeler. When he reached Niralanagar, a bike suddenly came in front and in order to save him, his car hit wrongly parked cars in front of a hotel.
The accused who were present at the spot got angry and began assaulting the policeman. The group even robbed him of his valuables.

The SI lodged a complaint at the police station. The police added that more persons involved in the incident are being traced.
