A shocking video has emerged online showing two police constables in Bihar’s Nalanda fighting with each other in broad daylight. In a video that is being widely shared online, the two cops are seen arguing and then engaging in a violent fight in the middle of the road in Nalanda.
The video starts with one officer accusing the other of accepting a bribe in front of the public. As the first cop tried to move away, the other cop hit him with the police stick. The two then indulge in a fistfight, even grabbing each other’s necks at some point. Meanwhile, some people can be heard warning the officers that they might get suspended. However, the cops did not listen to them and continued fighting. Locals then intervened and tried to pacify them.
Many others recorded the incident on their mobile phones and shared it on social media.
