New Delhi: A footage running viral on social media showed a constable slapping a minor boy in Delhi.

The constable was found quarrelling with a group of boys over skateboarding.

Suddenly he slapped one of them. The boy reportedly started bleeding from the nose. The incident took place two days ago.

The Delhi Police said they have taken cognizance of the incident.

"We have taken cognizance of an incident of misbehaviour by a constable with a minor boy in Safdarjung Enclave," a senior police official said.

"Concerned officials have been asked to ascertain the facts and take suitable action," the official said.

Another senior police official told IANS that they had received a complaint by a senior citizen in July regarding some boys rashly riding the skateboards.

"The senior citizen also complained that these boys had also hit them twice while speedily riding skateboards," the official said.

Following the complaint, a police constable was deputed there to keep a tab on such incidents. However, the constable himself got entangled in an argument during which he slapped a minor boy.

"We are enquiring about the matter and if the Constable is found guilty, certainly a strict disciplinary action will be taken against him," the official said.

A Twitter user, who had posted the said video, claimed that the boy was assaulted by the policeman for just skateboarding at B6 Market, Safdarjung enclave.

Surprisingly, after hitting the boy, just seconds later, the accused policeman denied the act in the same video. The group of boys could also be heard telling him that he has no authority and right of raising his hand at anyone like this.
