In a video clip, the man, who identified himself as 44-year-old Loknath Gautam, said policemen posted at Choithram crossing stopped the autorickshaw, pulled him out during which his T-shirt tore, and hit three-wheeler's driver.

The police did not relent despite being told several times that he was going to a private laboratory to get himself tested, the man claimed.
