Though Punjab Director General of Police Sumedh Singh Saini said that "whatever the policemen did was wrong", he and the top brass went on the defensive, saying that the video clip, shot by a bystander on his mobile phone, did not depict the entire incident.
Saini even claimed that the police personnel, two of whom were suspended and a magisterial probe ordered into the incident, "had their own view about the entire incident". But he did admit that his men had no business to assault the woman the way they did so in full public view.
