The officer, Vikas Chauhan, was posted at Parthala Police check post in Sector 122.

Harish Chander, deputy commissioner of police, Noida Central, said, “The sub-inspector and his wife were going outside in their car at night. They had a heated argument over some issue and the sub-inspector allegedly abused his wife. The society’s security reached the spot and tried to intervene.”

“The sub-inspector lost cool and manhandled the guards and abused them too. A guard alerted the society’s maintenance department and some officials reached the spot. The cop also brandished his gun at the security personnel and created panic,” said Alok Dwivedi, a resident of the society.

Video clips of the alleged incident soon made its way onto social media. In it, the S-I is purportedly seen in his trousers and vest with the weapon strapped in the belt, and holding a guard’s by his collar.

Society residents informed the police and a team from Bisrakh police station arrived to resolve the matter by 12.30 am.

GB Nagar Police Commissioner Alok Singh later suspended the sub-inspector. Chander said that police have also launched a departmental enquiry into the matter.
