Nagpur, Maharashtra (April 11, 2025): A police officer in Nagpur allegedly slapped a young man who questioned him for riding a two-wheeler without a helmet. A video of the incident has gone viral on social media. The footage shows the young man approaching the officer after noticing him riding without a helmet. When he asked why the officer was not wearing one, the officer stopped his motorcycle, called the young man closer, and slapped him twice. The entire incident was caught on camera.

After hitting the youth, the officer claimed he had a toothache, which is why he was not wearing a helmet.
