Delhi police caught beating man to the ground taking money from his
wallet.
Delhi police have suspended three officers after a video showed them
beating a man with sticks and taking money from his wallet.
The video was posted on the Facebook page of India's Aam Aadmi (Common
Man) party, which runs the government in the Indian capital. The party
said a vigilante shot the footage outside the Red Fort, a popular
tourist spot, earlier this month.
The police confirmed that the men shown in the footage were Delhi
officers and said they had been suspended.
The Aam Aadmi party leader, Arvind Kejriwal, has his eye on control over
the city's police force, which now reports to the federal government.
He has accused the force of targeting poor people for petty offences,
but refusing to combat serious crime.
Kejriwal, who took office in December on a promise to sweep out
corruption, led a protest by hundreds of supporters earlier this week
against the city's police force.
