Three employees from a towing van operated by the Traffic Police severely beat up a youth in the presence of traffic police in the Gandhibagh area, causing widespread outrage among citizens. The incident, filmed on a mobile phone, swiftly spread across social media platforms on Wednesday.
The incident occured on Tuesday evening as a young man sat on his two-wheeler in the Gandhibagh area. Upon the arrival of the Traffic Police’s towing van, two employees approached the youth and forcibly removed him from his bike. As the youth resisted, a confrontation ensued, escalating into a violent altercation.
In a shocking turn of events, a third employee joined the altercation, leading to a vicious attack on the youth. Despite the presence of traffic police at the scene, no action was taken to stop the assault.
A video clip, widely circulated on social media, depicted the incident, sparking concerns about the purported misuse of towing vans.

While towing vans are designated to clear vehicles from roads or restricted parking zones, but there have been long standing allegations that personnel often lift vehicles from legal parking spaces.
