In a shocking incident in Pune, a constable from the Motor Transport Department has been suspended after a video of him assaulting a PMPML bus driver went viral on social media. The constable, identified as Rahul Ashok Waghmare, had initially tried to resolve the matter amicably with the victim, but public outrage forced the police administration to take action.
The suspension order cited the incident on July 21, where Waghmare was seen getting into a physical altercation with the bus driver after a disagreement over driving. The order highlighted that as a policeman, Waghmare should have followed proper procedures and not resorted to violence.
Waghmare has been asked to report to the Police Inspector (Reserve) at the Police Headquarters in Shivajinagar to mark his attendance. The suspension is aimed at addressing the breach of conduct and restoring public trust in the police force.
The incident has sparked criticism of the initial decision to resolve the matter without disciplinary action and has raised concerns about the conduct of law enforcement officers. The public is calling for accountability and transparency in such cases to ensure the integrity of the police force.
