A video of Jodhpur Cop kneeling on man’s neck for not wearing mask went viral on social media and drew massive outrage.
The man identified as Mukesh Kumar Prajapat was not wearing mask while he was outside, something that was made mandatory by the Government.
According to the police, two constables pulled him up for not wearing a mask. However, Prajapat allegedly hit them, and the constables then tried to control him.
Jodhpur’s DCP (West) Priti Chandra said, “The person was without a mask… If someone is not wearing a mask then corona will spread fast. So a constable clicked the person’s photo when he was not wearing a mask. And when the constable approached him and inquired why he was not wearing a mask, the person immediately pulled up a mask and threatened them that he will gouge their eyes.”
“So the policemen called for a jeep from the police station, but before it could arrive the man started slapping and punching both the constables — there are videos of the same. We have filed an FIR against him and arrested him,” Chandra said.
