GA-DRUNK COP

An inquiry was initiated Thursday

after a video showing a drunk policeman abusing a man went

viral on social media.

The alleged incident happened outside the office of

the Superintendent of Police, North Goa, in the afternoon.

The video shows the policeman, a head-constable, who

was apparently drunk, questioning the presence of Ashley

Noronha, who works for an NGO, outside the SP office.

Noronha, who shot the video, alleged that the

policeman abused him verbally in the presence of other police

officers who remained mute spectators.

Noronha then filed a complaint against the policeman

at Porvorim Police Station.

Goa Director General of Police Muktesh Chandar said

inquiry has been ordered, and "strict departmental action

would be taken against the policeman if found guilty".
