Cop assaulted, forced to wave saffron flag
An Assistant Sub-Inspector was assaulted and made to carry a "saffron flag" across a town in Latur, Maharashtra by members of a fringe right-wing group. The 50-year-old officer and a head constable were reportedly trying to stop the group from hoisting religious flags in a 'sensitive' area. Additional police force reportedly failed to reach in time to tackle the mob.
