Viral Video: A video of a man scolding the heck out of cops has gone viral, spawning curiosity and debate across the board. In the video, a man is shown shouting aggressively at police officers—a scene that includes one officer folding his hands in front of him in submission. The social media world is waiting to understand the context behind this scene of unusual authority and disrespect—all because of a video shared by ex-user Nishant Sharma (Bhardwaj).
Man Confronts Police in Mainpuri
He is seen saying in the video, “Don’t look into my eyes CO sahab. I am not going to be afraid. Understand or not. you know us, who are we? A girl is crying, her mother is crying and you are holding our arm.” His aggressive tone and the scene of the policemen apparently bowing to him have caused a wave of reactions online. People are questioning who this man is and under what circumstances did such a scenario come about.
Context of the Dispute
The incident is said to have been from Karhal town of Mainpuri, Uttar Pradesh, as per NBT reports. In the video, the man is said to have been on his way to meet Uttar Pradesh Deputy Chief Minister Brijesh Pathak but was intercepted by the police. The fight broke out when the man, who was seeking help over a land dispute, pushed the officers and shouted at them. No official confirmation has yet been received as to the man’s identity and the nature of the complaint it regards.
The viral video has actually caused some sort of discussion among citizens concerning how they are really treated by the police and what kind of lip service is given to some kind of people depending on their stature or their connections. What exactly drove the man to do so is not really clear and goes well beyond his video in discussing issues such as authority, public conduct, and relations between citizens and the police. Questions have been raised on the wider perspective regarding issues of authority, power relations, and respect for the police in such situations.
