In the viral footage, a Motorway Police officer is seen hitting a child on the head, but when a journalist enters the room with a camera, the officer’s demeanor changes. He immediately denies the assault despite the video evidence. When the journalist repeatedly asks why he hit the child, the officer tells him to leave the room and even becomes physically aggressive towards the reporter.
According to the Motorway Police, the incident took place at the Mahmood Booti Toll Plaza. Some individuals were illegally selling food items on the motorway, and when they noticed the police officers, they attempted to flee. One individual was apprehended, and during the arrest, the officer in question allegedly used physical force. The officer involved in the assault has been immediately suspended, and an inquiry has been initiated to investigate the matter thoroughly.
