शर्मनाक: @DIGGarhwalRange
उत्तराखंड पुलिस @uttarakhandcops की एक और शर्मनाक हरकत सामने आई है जिसमें वे दो महिला पर्यटकों को रोककर परेशान करते नजर आए और उनको थप्पड भी मार दी। उत्तराखंड सरकार @pushkardhami जी को इनके खिलाफ सख्त कार्रवाई करनी चाहिए।

Public reaction on social media

The video, posted by a user named @Cyber_Huntss on X (formerly Twitter), has amassed over 2 lakh views, 5,000 likes, and 300 comments. In the accompanying post, the user criticized the policeman’s actions and urged the Uttarakhand government to take strict action. The post tagged @DIGGarhwalRange and @uttarakhandcops, calling the incident a “shameful act.”

Reactions to the video have been mixed. Some users condemned the policeman’s behavior, arguing that even if the tourists were at fault, physical aggression was unwarranted. Others suggested that the tourists should have been more polite and cooperative during the interaction. One user wrote, “How did they get so much courage? What action has been taken so far?” Another commented, “The police also made a mistake by raising their hands.”

Uttarakhand Police’s response

The Uttarakhand Police responded to the viral video through an official statement on X. According to the police, the incident occurred during a routine vehicle check when a two-wheeler without a number plate was stopped. The vehicle reportedly lacked registration documents, and the pillion rider was not wearing a helmet.

The police acknowledged the altercation and announced an investigation into the matter. “Orders have been given to investigate the validity of the rental vehicle documents and determine accountability. Action will be taken as per the rules against whoever is found guilty—whether it’s the driver, policeman, or vehicle owner,” the statement read. The police assured the public that the Nainital Police is committed to conducting a fair investigation and maintaining law and order.
