A policeman with a stick in his hand was caught on camera slapping a woman after an argument between the duo. She was slapped by the official and made to walk away from the scene. After the policeman expressed violence, another cop tried to take control the argument and calm the angry police down.

The footage reportedly comes from the farmers protest at Punjab's Gurdaspur district. The incident questioned the situation and lead to claims that police used force to deal with farmers protesting over land acquisition on Delhi-Katra national highway (Bharatmala project).
