A case was filed against the motorist for hindering a govt. official’s duty
A Special Sub-Inspector (SSI), attached to the Alangayam police station near Vaniyambadi in Tirupattur district, has been shifted to the Armed Reserve (AR) wing of the Tirupattur District Police after a scuffle between him and a motorist went viral on Tuesday.
Police said K. Umapathy, the SSI, was conducting a routine vehicle check in Alangayam town and tried to stop S. Manikandan, 30, who went ahead without stopping. Mr. Umapathy chased and cornered the motorist, and tried to confiscate the vehicle.
When Mr. Manikandan prevented him from doing so, Mr. Umapathy hit the motorist, which led to an exchange of blows between them. Some onlookers took videos of the scuffle. "The SSI should not have behaved in such a manner. As a disciplinary action, we shifted him to the AR wing," K. Balakrishnan, SP, Tirupattur, told The Hindu.
