The report added that even though the complainant initially thought the SHO was joking about the massage, he was later forced to massage his feet.
The matter was taken to the Senior Superintendent of Police (SSP), Lucknow, Manzil Saini, who also ordered a departmental inquiry against the SHO before suspending hm.
The video clip showed a barefooted man sitting on the ground and massaging Yadav’s leg, while the officer was talking on his cell phone.
Despite efforts to make police more sensitive, the cops in Samajawadi Party-run Uttar Pradesh continue to harass common man and ignore his problems.
“We are trying to ascertain if the man is a complainant or whether he was brought to the police station in connection with some other case”, a police official said.
