Jaipur: An army commando posted in the Baramulla district of Jammu and Kashmir has been brutally thrashed by the Jaipur police. The police officials had reportedly put the officer in the barrack, removed his clothes and thrashed him. They also forced him to say that the police department is better and bigger than the Indian army (police Bharatiya sena ki baap hai) and filmed it.
Rajyavardhan takes it up
The video later went viral and caught the eye of Rajyavardhan Singh Rathore, the cabinet minister in the Rajasthan govt who has also previously served in the Indian army. Rathore directly reached the incident spot which happens to be the Shipra Path police station in Jaipur and rebuked the police officers on the incident, the video of which again surfaced on the internet.
