Caught on Camera | Mumbai cops thrash couple inside police station

Video of a couple being allegedly thrashed by cops inside Mumbai's Andheri police station has gone viral. Police insists the couple were fighting and the policemen were only trying to pull them apart. “The couple were under heavy influence of alcohol and were fighting with each other on the road near Andheri Metro Station. They were then brought to the police station but the two again picked up a scuffle. Police just did the duty to separate them while they were fighting,” senior inspector, Andheri Police Station, Nandkumar Dhumal said. He said the man was trying to get hold of the woman while the cops tried to restrain him and the video was shot at that particular moment. An inquiry has been initiated in the matter, he added.

No case was lodged against the couple and their parents were called to the police station. The duo were later released after a warning, he said, adding that a station-house diary was made and statements of the couple were recorded.
