      The 20-second-long viral clip shows a policeman trying to wrestle free from the grip of a man dressed in saffron robes. While both the men lie on the ground fighting it out, a woman tries to break the fight and succeeds towards the end of the video.

      A Hindi text imprinted over the video translates to 'Now what's happening with the Indian police in this country. Had this cop been attacked by a Musalman, what would have the TV channels shown?'

      (Hindi: अब यह क्या हो रहा है हमारे इंडिया पुलिस के साथ | अगर इस पुलिस को किसी मुसलमान ने मारा होता तो news channels पे क्या दिखाया रहा होता )
