The statement, citing another video clip that has since emerged of the incident on Saturday, said the woman started the scuffle to enable her husband to flee and the officer fell on the woman while trying to stop her. The officer, sub-inspector Mahendra Patel, has nevertheless been transferred to the district's police lines, the statement said. The team caught Shivam Yadav, who according to the police, allegedly threatened a candidate in the panchayat elections a few weeks earlier. His family members attacked the police and managed to let Shivam Yadav run away from custody. His wife, Arti, later cited a photograph and a truncated version of the video clip of the incident, to allege that the police officer dragged her to the ground, sat on top of her, and assaulted her.
