Bengaluru: As the ambulance moved away, in the footage, the policeman was seen moving in. He pushed the retired army man.
Admitting the incident, Mr Dayananda said, "There has been some verbal altercation and pushing. The DCP Traffic East has gone to the spot and verified the incident. The behaviour of the sub-inspector is not justified."
"The person who has removed the rope and allowed the ambulance to pass, he has done a good thing, we do appreciate it," he added.
