2 UP Cops Thrash Each Other Allegedly Fighting Over ‘Who Gets The Bribe’, Watch Video

No matter how exciting your job may be, differences of opinion with co-workers often lead to tension. Sometimes, the situation goes so intense that it ends up in a heated verbal argument and even a brawl.

Just like the recent incident from Prayagraj where two policemen were caught on CCTV brutally thrashing each other with lathis. The dispute between the two allegedly happened over a ‘bribe’. No, not for opposing corruption but apparently over an argument over ‘who will take the bribe home’!

Two cops are seen arguing over something near a police van in the footage. One of them slapped the other, leading to a feud. The cops then grab lathis in the video and seen thrashing each other as other policemen present on the spot tried to stop them. The four people then leave the spot in the van while two other men, identified as the petrol pump in-charge and his helper, stood by, reports NDTV.

“The petrol pump where the incident happened on the night of August 11 comes under Kondhiyara police station. Both the police personnel have been suspended for now,” said Ashutosh Mishra, Superintendent of Police (SP) Crime, reports News 18.

The video went viral on social media within no time and and here’s what people had to say.

According to a report in TOI, both the cops were suspended as soon as the video surfaced on social media. An investigation is underway for the same.

We look up to our police force to protect the public and resolve conflicts. But such instances of on-duty cops hitting each other with lathis makes us seriously question the state of law and order in our country.
