Two men were arrested here for assaulting a police official and tearing his uniform in public on Tuesday, an official said.
A video of the shocking incident went viral on social media.
The accused were identified as Ravi Kashyap and his associate Manish, both around 25 years old.
Kashyap was having a quarrel with another man in the middle of the road at Nagar Nigam intersection on Tuesday when sub-inspector Nathuram Dohre intervened.
Kashyap and Manish then assaulted Mr Dohre, said additional deputy commissioner of police Ramsanehi Mishra.
The video showed the accused beating up the official while holding his collar and also tearing his uniform. Two traffic police constables intervened, but even they could not free the sub-inspector immediately.
Both the assailants were arrested under relevant sections of the Bharatiya Nyaya Sanhita and their vehicle was seized under the Motor Vehicles Act, said DCP Mishra.
