A misconduct allegation has surfaced against a police personnel in Gurugram after a video showing a heated dispute between a policeman and an auto-rickshaw driver spread widely on social media. According to the clip, which has been viewed by thousands of users online, the police personnel boarded the auto-rickshaw and asked the driver to take him to his destination. The driver refused, explaining that he had already accepted a ride request through a booking app and could not abandon his existing passenger for a free trip.
The officer allegedly responded with a stream of abusive language. The driver, visibly upset, questioned why he was being verbally attacked for simply doing his job.
