When the constable tried to discipline the group into standing quietly in a queue, he was beaten up by some men. In an apparent bid to save his life from the irate mob, he fired blanks in the air.
A mobile video of the incident shows the agitated crowd throwing slippers at cops. The constable has since been suspended for using force.
Incidentally, the bank was also running short of cash.
