The altercation occurred on Sunday. It gained widespread attention only after a video purportedly showing the event began circulating extensively on various social media platforms. The online spread of this clip prompted local law enforcement to take official action against the accused.
Confrontation at the Police Station
Police officials identified the accused man as Suraj Patel. According to their statement, Patel arrived at the Kemri police station intending to meet an individual held in custody in connection with a case. When police personnel refused to permit the meeting, Patel allegedly became enraged.
