"Constable Rajesh Jangid has been suspended and an inquiry has been initiated against him. Strictest department action will be taken against him if found guilty," PTI quoted a senior RPF official as saying.
The woman was sitting right beside the constable who started touching her and pretended to be dozing while hiding behind a bag he was carrying. The video was recorded and posted by a passenger sitting in front of them.
The woman informed her relative sitting next to her about the constable; other passengers gathered up and hit him. The constable stood up and left the spot without any fear.
