A routine traffic altercation in Doda, Jammu and Kashmir, has sparked a police investigation and raised questions about law enforcement conduct. A viral video capturing the incident shows Assistant Sub-Inspector (ASI) Mohd Maqbool Dar slapping a civilian, Anzar Majid Malik, during a heated argument on the street.
The video, which has since circulated widely on social media, depicts a tense confrontation between the two individuals. The incident occurred when Malik, riding a scooter, allegedly collided with Dar's Maruti Ignis vehicle. The argument escalated quickly, with Dar stepping out of his car and physically assaulting Malik. The video footage clearly shows Dar slapping Malik across the face, leaving him visibly shaken.
This incident has led to Dar's suspension and the filing of a First Information Report (FIR) against him. According to official sources, Dar has been charged under sections 332 (voluntarily causing hurt to deter public servant from his duty), 353 (assault or criminal force to deter public servant from discharge of his duty), and 506 (punishment for criminal intimidation) of the Indian Penal Code (IPC). The police department has also initiated an internal inquiry to determine the circumstances surrounding the incident and assess the appropriate disciplinary action.
This case highlights the growing influence of social media in bringing attention to instances of police misconduct. It also underscores the importance of maintaining professional conduct by law enforcement officers, even in heated situations. As the investigation unfolds, the public awaits the outcome, hoping for a fair resolution that reinforces the principles of justice and accountability.
