A video showing a scuffle between a man and woman is being circulated with the claim that the government has turn policemen into goons by making challans expensive.
‘The government has made the policemen goons by making challans expensive. In front of an innocent child who kills his father, this message should be sent to other groups so that the administration will wake up (Translated to English),’ reads the message.
The Logical Indian received a request to verify the claim.
The same message was viral with another video last year. The Logical Indian will debunk both the videos since the same message is being circulated for both.
Video One:
In the video, some police personnel could be seen being involved in an altercation with a person, who is refusing to get inside a police vehicle.
When the woman intervenes, she is pushed away by the police personnel. In the later part of the video, woman can be seen arguing about the absence of women personnel and alleged misbehaviour with her.s

Claim:
Video One: Police personnel manhandled a woman over traffic challan fine.
Video Two: Police mistreats a boy over traffic challan fine.
Fact Check:Video One:
The claim is false since news reports on the incident does not mention anything related to ‘high traffic challan’.
A Google Reverse Image search was done by breaking the video into individual frames using InVid. This led to news reports on the incident.
According to an NDTV report published on October 19, 2019, a video had gone viral in which some cops were seen misbehaving with a woman, following a verbal altercation over some issue. A probe was ordered in connection with the incident.
‘This video was getting viral since yesterday (October 18, 2019). It has been found to be from the Turab Nagar area of Ghaziabad. Circle Officer First has been directed to investigate the case,’ Manish Kumar Mishra, Superintendent of Police, Ghaziabad city was quoted as saying.
In the video, the police van clearly shows that it belongs to the Ghaziabad police force.
Further, the Ghaziabad police, on October 18, 2019, had issued a press note from their official Twitter account expressing regret for the insensitive treatment of the woman. The Sub Inspector NPS appointed on the Police Station Ghaziabad Ranbir Singh was moved to the line with immediate effect.
