Shillong, October 22: Police in Sitapur, Uttar Pradesh, have initiated an inquiry into an incident where the sons of a state minister and a gunner were allegedly caught on camera assaulting two women.

As per IANS, the incident occurred on Saturday and was captured in a video that went viral on social media, revealing a gunner in police uniform and two others physically attacking the women and tearing their clothes.

The women claim that they were assaulted by the two sons of a state minister and their gunner. They have reported to the police that they are being pressured to vacate ancestral land at the minister’s behest.
