Two policemen were seen thrashing each other with wooden sticks allegedly over bribe in a video going viral on social media platforms on Tuesday.
The incident was captured in the CCTV camera installed at a petrol pump on Sunday.
The video shows six people including two policemen in uniform quarrelling over something with a person who is inside a police van. Moments later, two of them picked up wooden sticks and start beating each other, while the other three try to stop them which they managed to do after some time. Later, four are seen leaving the spot in the police van while the petrol pump in-charge is seen standing there with his helper.
