On Camera, Army Officer, Son Thrashed By Patiala Cops Over Parking Dispute

An Army officer and his son have been allegedly thrashed by cops over a parking dispute in Punjab's Patiala. 

The incident occurred on March 13 outside a roadside eatery and was caught on CCTV.

The argument reportedly began when the police personnel, in civilian clothes, asked Colonel Pushpinder Bath, currently posted at the Army Headquarters in Delhi, to move his vehicle.

The argument escalated when the officer objected to their tone. The police personnel then allegedly kicked and punched Colonel Bath.
