An FIR has been registered against a Delhi Police sub-inspector after she allegedly slapped a 78-year-old shopkeeper as he objected to her parking her car in front of his shop, sources said.
A police source said on Sunday that the accident occurred in Rohini Sector 7 when the elderly man who runs a shop objected to the car parked directly in front of his shop.
He added that the pregnant woman said that she came to the area with her husband for a medical examination.
She told police that she asked the store owner to let her park the car for a few minutes, and that she intended to move it after her visit. But the store owner refused, which led to a quarrel.
The source said that the situation escalated, so the woman slapped him.
Eyewitnesses said that the woman behaved aggressively and asked passers-by to step aside, claiming that she was a police officer, while a crowd of people gathered at the place.
A PCR call was made and police from nearby police stations rushed to the spot.
The officer was taken back to a nearby police station, and an FIR was registered against her and her husband. The matter is under investigation.
