Careful. An inquiry has been ordered against a sub-inspector accused of brutally thrashing a mentally ill person in Reeth village of Kudh Fatehgarh police station area of Sambhal, Uttar Pradesh.
In fact, a video of the alleged incident that took place at the Holi Milan ceremony on March 23 went viral on social media on Tuesday.
