In response to a viral video that depicted a police constable in uniform mercilessly beating an individual on the street, the Ghaziabad police took immediate action by suspending the accused officer and initiating a case against him. The constable, identified as Rinku Rajaura from Madhuban Bapudham police station in Ghaziabad district, was captured assaulting the victim in full view of the public on Tuesday.
