Varun took to his Instagram to share a video of the entire incident in which the cops in uniform can be seen pushing and hitting him.

Along with the video, he penned down his entire ordeal, which read, "When the police came to move me away from my spot near B Block, the parking managers also jumped in, and when people questioned the cops, they got involved in fisticuffs. I was packing up my things when the parking managers caught me by collar and abused me."

He went on to say, "A cop then caught me and pulled my hair. He also hit me with his elbow and punched me and dragged me to the police van. When I asked what wrong did I do, the cop said that he will explain it to me after reaching the police station."

"They had no right to assault me like this and I am now going to take legal action against them," Varun said.
