  1. This character should have been charged with assault for pushing police official. There are only two possible reasons for his obnoxious behavior – Either Alcohol consumption or extreme arrogance. Either way, he deserves no sympathies and he should have been taught a lesson.

  2. Taking Law in their hands & assaulting Police on duty is surely a crime. Concerned civilian should be taken to law, so that these incidents do not reoccur. Leave our Police Force to discharge their duty, hope our people understand this. What we observe is these organizers collect donations and spend on functions, but spend on Alcohol as well. That should be stopped.!!
