Reportedly, when a female police officer attempted to intervene and asked her to stop while recording the incident, the woman took out her mobile phone and began filming the officers and “created a ruckus”, the official said. “This is how they harass. They have opened the door of my car and surrounded me from all sides”, she was heard saying in the video while recording.

A constable later directed her to move the vehicle to the side of the road to ease the traffic congestion. As per the police, several passersby recorded the incident on their mobile phones.
