Soon after Binod made some derogatory comments against Nandini, Falakata police picked him up from his home and took him to the police station. The DM reached there with his wife and thrashed the man black and blue.
In the five minutes and 52 seconds video, the DM slapped Binod 10 times and kicked him too, while his wife Nandini also thrashed and threatened him in front of the police officers.
