"Come on, sign here, I will take your criminal statement," he added as the two officials kept listening to him.

Official taking on their seniors or those in power is considered rare in among the security forces.

Days ago, a video of a similar incident, in which a Gujarat constable had confronted an MLA's son for violating lockdown had gone viral.

The young constable had shot into limelight after she pulled up the minister's son and his two friends for allegedly violating the coronavirus-inducted lockdown and curfew, an act which was caught on camera.
