Bettiah (Bihar): In a video footage sourced from the CCTV camera of a pharmacy in Bihar's Bettiah, one Pinu, identified as the brother of Bihar's Bharatiya Janta Party national vice president Renu Devi, can be seen thrashing the chemist at the medical store for "not standing up" to show him "respect".
The incident took place on June 3, when Pinu entered the medical shop to buy something and suddenly asked the chemist to stand up to show him "respect". When the chemist denied obliging to his order, the accused brutally slapped him and forcefully dragged him outside the shop by his collar.
Pinu was later seen taking the chemist away in a car.
However, the accused's sister Renu Devi chose to stay away from the matter, claiming that she is not in talking terms with her brother anymore.
"I never encourage the wrong behavior. I have no relation with Pinu, with that house, for many years. We are not on talking terms. Still, I am being dragged. If anyone commits a mistake, he/she should be punished, even if it's me," she asserted.
Bettiah Superintendent of Police (SP) Jayant Kant said that a case has been registered in this regard and security has been provided to the victim's family.
