London, Sep 20: In a shocking video that emerged from UK’s Leicester city, a police officer was seen behaving rudely with an elderly Hindu priest and other community members, who had gathered to celebrate the Ganesh Chaturthi festival.
The more than a minute-long video was shared on X (formerly Twitter) on Tuesday by Insight UK, a Hindu advocacy group, which said the priest was “pushed around” and “manhandled”.
Identifying the cop as Adam Ahmed of Leicester Police, the group said that he used “excessive force against peaceful Hindu devotees”.
“We condemn the actions of the officer and believe that the actions by Mr Ahmed were uncalled for,” the group wrote in a post.
At least, 47 persons were arrested in what the police had described as a “series of disturbances”. (IANS)
