Shouldn't Action be taken against the Police Officers who just stood there and watched.

Any statement from the Police Spokesperson on the action contemplated by the Police against the police officers who were present at the time of the incident and shown in the video to flee the scene. Sir should outsource the police to the the social media activists.
