The incident, during which police resorted to cane charge, took place in Bhadol village during an anti-encroachment drive. A police officer and a woman were injured in the fracas and subsequent police action, he said. &quot;An inquiry has been ordered into the incident where police personnel allegedly beat up women during an anti-encroachment drive of Gram Panchayat in Bhadol village,&quot; Surat SP (Rural) Pradip Sejul said. He claimed the police resorted to lathicharge only when the family members of one Bacchu Patel, a resident of the village, attacked PSI B G Vasava, who was on duty. &quot;After pushing him (Vasava), they attempted to pull the rope of his revolver. In the ensuing scuffle, he sustained injuries,&quot; he said. However, TV footage showed women members of the family were mercilessly beaten up by the police. One of the women was later taken to the hospital for treatment. &quot;The police resorted to lathicharge in self-defence in which a woman sustained injury,&quot; Sejul said. Vasava was leading a team of police personnel who were providing protection to Gram Panchayat members and Government officials engaged in removing unauthorised constructions in the village.u00a0
