A disturbing incident involving a Bihar police officer and a pregnant woman has triggered widespread outrage after video footage showed the uniformed cop driving his scooter into the woman during a challan dispute. The incident occurred at Marine Drive in Patna and has sparked demands for accountability across social media platforms.
Viral Video Captures Shocking Confrontation
The now-viral video, originally shared by the Indian Youth Congress on X (formerly Twitter) on November 18, 2025, shows the pregnant woman standing directly in front of the police officer's scooter in an attempt to prevent him from moving forward. The woman can be seen asking her companion to record the entire incident as the situation escalates.
Despite the woman's visible pregnancy and her position blocking the officer's path, the uniformed policeman repeatedly attempts to drive the scooter forward. The vehicle makes contact with the woman, dragging her slightly as she maintains her stance. The woman's pleas appear to have little effect as the officer continues to maneuver the scooter aggressively.
Escalation and Intervention
As the confrontation intensifies, the woman climbs onto the back seat of the scooter while continuing her heated exchange with the police officer. The tense situation eventually draws the attention of a second policeman who arrives at the scene and attempts to calm the situation by approaching the woman's companion.
The video quickly gained traction across social media platforms, with users expressing shock and anger at the officer's conduct. Many questioned the safety of ordinary citizens when facing such behavior from law enforcement personnel.
Public Outrage and Official Response
Social media users reacted strongly to the viral footage, with one commenter noting: "Showing his power on a woman. Must be frustrated in his life.. venting it on her instead of on those who are causing him this frustration. Hope he is dealt as per book and punished for his actions."
Another user expressed deep concern, writing: "Where should we all go? We are not safe anywhere... This is so disturbing." The widespread condemnation reflected growing public concern about police conduct and accountability.
Responding to the viral footage and mounting public pressure, the Patna Police released an official statement on X on November 20, 2025. The police department confirmed they had "taken cognisance of the matter" and acknowledged the incident. Authorities stated that the video had been forwarded to the concerned officer for immediate investigation, assuring citizens that "appropriate action would follow once the facts were established."
The incident has raised serious questions about police training and protocols when dealing with vulnerable individuals, particularly women. As the investigation progresses, many are watching closely to see what disciplinary measures will be taken against the officer involved in this disturbing confrontation.
