Mughalsarai Railway Police Accused of Beating Auto Driver
A viral video shows Mughalsarai railway police officers allegedly assaulting an auto driver inside a police booth in Chandauli.
An auto-rickshaw driver has leveled serious allegations against the Mughalsarai railway outpost in-charge and a police constable, claiming they brutally assaulted him inside a police booth on Saturday evening.
Viral Video Sparks Public Outrage
The incident took place at the Ganji Prasad Chakiya intersection within the Mughalsarai Kotwali area in Chandauli. The controversy erupted after a video of the altercation began circulating widely on social media, sparking intense debate regarding the conduct of the officers involved.
According to the viral footage, the railway outpost in-charge and a constable brought the auto driver into the police booth following a dispute. The video allegedly shows the officers proceeding to beat the driver, leaving him with injuries and causing him to bleed.
Law Enforcement vs. Physical Force
While the primary responsibility of law enforcement is to maintain traffic flow and enforce regulations, the use of physical violence has raised serious questions. Critics argue that even if the driver had violated traffic rules, the authorities should have followed established legal procedures rather than resorting to physical force.
The responsibility of the uniform is to uphold and enforce the law, not to act outside of its boundaries.
Demand for Impartial Investigation
There is a growing expectation for senior police officials to conduct an impartial investigation into the matter to establish the facts of the case. Should the allegations be substantiated, the officers involved must be held accountable and face strict disciplinary action in accordance with the law.
