No Complaint Made, Matter Settled

The Kanpur Police also reacted to the video. "No application has been given by anyone in connection with the above case. Both of them had gone after getting treatment on the basis of mutual consent. If any complaint is received, necessary action will be taken," the police post in Hindi said.

In another incident, an e-rickshaw was vandalised and its driver was beaten up by some 'kanwariyas' in Haridwar's Manglaur. The video of the incident had gone viral. The incident happened after the e-rickshaw accidentally hit one of the 'kanwariyas' along the road, in which no one was reported injured.

"Sanjay Kumar informed the police that his e-rickshaw accidentally hit a 'bhole' (pilgrim), in which no kanwar was injured. Despite this, the pilgrim along with others assaulted him and vandalised his e-rickshaw. The police have taken cognisance of the incident and a case has been registered," said Haridwar SSP Pramod Dobhal.
