On Wednesday, the Delhi Police dismissed Constable Pushpinder Shekhawat and Constable Satya Prakash, for allegedly assaulting an auto-rickshaw driver and his minor son in Delhi's Mukherjee Nagar last month. The two constables were under suspension since June 16 and have been dismissed by DCP Police 1st Battalion, Rakesh Kumar.

On July 2, the police had filed an affidavit in the Delhi High Court on the incident saying that its personnel should have shown greater patience and professionalism instead of dragging the auto-rickshaw driver and his son.
