The footage, made outside a market, shows one of the police officials mercilessly throwing two women on the ground before lunging towards another.



In December last year, two shopkeepers slapped a child before roughing up his mother and aunt. According to Azmat Bibi, mother of the child, her son was playing outside the house, when the accused, gave him a dressing down.

The women went to rescue the boy but were physically assaulted by the suspect and his accomplice and in the process tore their clothes apart in public.
