A truck driver was verbally abused and slapped by Cyberabad Traffic Police for allegedly parking his vehicle at the wrong place. The incident took place on Wednesday, near Gandi Maisamma at Quthbullapur, when the traffic sub-inspector, Yadagiri, of Jeedimetla traffic police station, hit the driver for parking his vehicle in a “no-parking” area.
In the video, traffic police official can be seen slapping a driver for parking in a no-parking zone. The driver even tried to explain to traffic police personnel that the truck stopped due to a technical problem.
The video went viral on the social media platforms and drew criticism from various quarters.
The BRS party working president and former Union Minister, KT Rama Rao, slammed the police behaviour.
Taking to X, Rao tagged Telangana Director General of Police (DGP) and stated, “What absolute garbage language is this? Is this acceptable behaviour? Please remember that it is the citizens who pay the salaries of the policemen and officials. My tweet is not just about one incident, but I have been watching several videos on social media where cops are behaving in a highly inappropriate manner towards the citizens. I hope you conduct sensitization classes to change the behavior of the policemen who are in direct contact with citizens.”
