In a shocking incident from Punjab, a policeman shot a man after a scuffle in Dera Bassi’s Habetpur village. The incident was caught on camera and the victim, along with two others, can be seen attacking the policeman after which he opened fire on the victim’s thighs.

The incident happened on Sunday evening when the police were trying to search a woman’s bag at a check post in Derabassi’s Habetpur village.

The victim was immediately taken to the Civil Hospital but doctors referred her to the Government Medical College and Hospital in Chandigarh.

“We were standing on Hebatpur Road when a police team came and misbehaved with us. They wanted to check my wife’s bag. They were drunk and opened fire on my brother,” Akshay, the victim’s brother, told ANI.

Victim Hitesh, his sister and brother-in-law alleged that the police was in an inebriated state and opened fire in anger.

BJP leader Tajinder Pal Singh Bagga attacked the AAP government in the state, saying policemen could have caught the man, but they shot him.

“At Derabassi, the Punjab Police assaulted a woman and shot her husband when she protested. After Arvind Kejriwal came to power, the Punjab Police has stopped treating the citizens of Punjab like human beings. So many policemen could have caught a man if they wanted, but he was shot,” Bagga said in a tweet.
