Viral Video Shows Mumbai Cop Toppling 2-Wheelers During Ganpati Visarjan
In a separate incident, a video from Ganesh Visarjan celebrations in Mumbai has gone viral, showing a police officer toppling multiple parked two-wheelers. The footage captures a busy street where immersion processions were underway. Two officers can be seen managing the crowd when one of them suddenly pushes over a row of parked motorcycles and scooters. At least five to six vehicles fell in quick succession as the officer continued pushing them.
The clip has triggered criticism online, with social media users questioning the need for such an action. Some suggested the bikes may have been parked in a restricted zone, but others argued that even if that was the case, damaging private property was not the right approach.
Several comments on the video pointed out that traffic violations can be handled through established legal processes, such as fines or towing, rather than destruction. “This amounts to misuse of power,” wrote one user, while another said, “Vehicles are bought with hard-earned money, this is unacceptable.”
At present, the exact location of the incident has not been confirmed. The identity of the officer in the video is also unclear and there has been no official response from the police department on whether disciplinary action will follow.
