MAPUSA
In yet another lowdown for the Goa Police, two cops including a policewoman were suspended after a video went viral on social media showing a policeman manhandling his wife after she caught him red-handed in the act in a car at Guirim near Mapusa.
The Police Constable attached to Panaji Traffic Cell, Roshan Mathias and the woman Police Constable attached to Old Goa Police, Shoba Chavan were suspended late on Friday evening.
The viral clip shows the police constable husband swinging at his wife and throwing her to the ground and twisting her hand after she apparently caught him making out with a lady police constable in a car at the Guirim road.
The incident took place on Thursday evening.
Based on a complaint of the wife, Mapusa Police have registered a non-cognisable offence against the police constable husband for assault and abuse under sections 323 and 504 of the IPC.
The Superintendent of Police of the respective departments issued suspension orders of the two cops.
Just two days ago, two other policemen were suspended for their alleged involvement in extorting money late in the night at Dona Paula.
