A traffic cop was dragged by a speeding car after requesting the documents of the driver in the Faridabad district of Haryana. The incident took place at the Ballabhgarh bus stop recorded on video and has since gone viral on social media.

The incident occurred on Friday when a driver, allegedly intoxicated, obstructed traffic by parking his car in the middle of the road to pick up passengers, a report in NDTV said.

A traffic sub-inspector approached the driver, requesting his vehicle documents and preparing to issue a fine. The routine check quickly turned into a heated argument.
