The girl could be seen crying right from the start, but the officer was not moved at all and instead, she was blocking the father and daughter, the court said.
The Kerala High Court on Monday said that a woman cop's behaviour - who stopped a father and daughter, accusing them of stealing her phone - indicated "pure ego and arrogance of the khaki".
Justice Devan Ramachandran, after playing an around five minute long video of the incident, said that the girl could be seen crying right from the start, but the officer was not moved at all and instead she was blocking the father and daughter.
The court said that being a woman and a mother, the officer should have been moved by the tears and should have consoled the child.
"The visuals are disturbing. It has moved me. The girl was crying throughout. She was terrified. Any child would be when their father is being accused, that too by police. They are from a vulnerable section of society.
