Chandigarh, Mar 8: The men in khaki, it would seem, are hellbent on denting the image of police - and even the state - as happened during the 1980s and early 1990s at the height of terrorism in Punjab.
The latest images of Punjab Police personnel savagely beating up a helpless young woman and her father have again left the country shocked. In the clip, repeatedly aired by national and other TV channels, the police personnel were seen chasing, slapping, abusing and even hitting the 21-year-old victim with a baton.
What triggered this, according to the victim, was her complaint to the police about being sexually harassed by some taxidrivers outside a marriage venue in the frontier district of Tarn Taran, 50 km from Amritsar.
