She then turned to the female cop, using inappropriate language, even threatening her with humiliation. “Kapde utaar ke nanga karungi tujhe (I will strip you naked),” she told the cop.

At one point, the male cop responded, “You are a woman, that’s why we are speaking respectfully. Otherwise, the situation would have been different.” The woman, then challenged them to arrest her if they dared.

The over one-minute-long clip of the altercation quickly spread across social media platforms. Many expressed outrage over the language used, while others questioned the public display of aggression toward law enforcement officials.

Later, the Yelahanka New Town Police confirmed the incident in a post on X (formerly Twitter). The statement said that a case had been registered against the woman, she had been taken into custody, and a legal investigation was underway. Police assured that appropriate action would be taken following the inquiry.
