Mumbai, Nov 12: Maharashtra chief minister Devendra Fadnavis issued a warning to traffic policemen on Sunday and stated that the policeman who allegedly towed a vehicle with a woman and baby inside it had been suspended.

Fadnavis made the statement a day after a video circulated on Facebook reportedly showing a woman with a seven-month-old baby being towed away by the traffic police in Mumbai.

In the video, the woman, Jyoti Male, can be heard saying that there were two cars in front of her which were not towed.

She also added that there was no nameplate on the traffic policeman's uniform. Jyoti said that she was breastfeeding her child when this incident occurred.

She later said that the policeman towing the car did not even ask her to get down from the vehicle.

She claimed she even informed them that she was breastfeeding her child, but they did not stop.

Maharashtra minister of finance and planning, and forests, Sudhir Mungantiwar, said that it was an "inhuman action by police" and that "action will be taken."

News agency reported that the Mumbai Joint Commissioner of Police (Traffic) Amitesh Kumar ordered an inquiry into the case.

The report added that the joint commissioner ordered the DCP (Traffic) West to visit the location where the incident took place and begin an inquiry immediately. He added that a report must be filed by Sunday.

"It has been prima facie noticed that safety of the woman and the child was endangered in the incident. Hence, pending inquiry, the constable is being placed under suspension," Amitesh Kumar said.

A decision about departmental action against him will be taken after the report is received, he added.

Khammam, Jun 29: In an outrageous incident, some youths beat up a monkey and strung it up on a tree to death while also releasing dogs to attack it in Ammapalem village in Telangana's Khammam district.

A video of the heinous incident of animal cruelty has surfaced on social media, in which the monkey is seen hanging by a rope from a tree, desperately flailing its limbs while a couple of dogs attempt to pounce on and torment the hapless simian. After a while, several men are seen in the video approaching the animal with long sticks.

Forest officials have charged one villager Venkateshwar Rao under Wildlife Protection Act along with the other accused and arrested them. They were released on bail on Saturday and are set to be summoned for questioning by forest officials.

Rao had spotted the monkey, which had entered his residence apparently in search of food and beat it with a stick and hung it from a tree with the help of his friend.

In the video of the incident, Rao could also be seen instructing his pet dogs to bite the monkey, which was fighting for its life.
