Identified as Sania Madkami, the constable was placed under suspension.

The incident has evoked sharp reactions from locals. In the video Madkami is seen hitting a man on the busy road near OHPC office.

Meanwhile, Malkangiri Superintendent of Police (SP) Nitesh Wadhwani, informed TNIE that Sania has been suspended after video of the incident came to the fore.
