UTTAR PRADESH: A traffic policeman in Uttar Pradesh’s Hathras firmly stood his ground against the son of a BJP lawmaker after a roadside altercation, and the video is now going viral.
The incident involved Legislative Council member (MLC) Chaudhary Rishipal Singh’s son, Tapesh, whose Scorpio SUV was parked in the middle of a busy road, blocking traffic. The vehicle displayed “vidhayak” (legislator) signage on the windshield, a BJP flag on the bonnet, and was accompanied by an armed gunner.
Traffic constable SP Singh approached the car and politely asked the driver to move it to clear the jam. But instead of cooperating, Tapesh allegedly told him to “bhaag yahan se” (get lost).
What followed was a heated verbal exchange:
Traffic Cop: I am 55 years old, and you are saying “bhaag yahan se”?
MLC’s son: You are 55 years old, that’s why I am showing respect
Traffic Cop: What respect? You are creating a traffic jam
MLC’s son: You should speak properly. You are damaging the department’s reputation. I am talking to you nicely.
Traffic Cop: If you had spoken nicely, this situation would not have arisen.

In the video, the traffic cop is seen recording the whole exchange on his phone. Other cops are also seen trying to defuse the situation.
Traffic Cop: You are damaging your father’s reputation
MLC’s Son: You are damaging the government’s reputation
Traffic Cop: I will put this video on Facebook. I am more educated than you. I know how to talk. You are misusing power.
Speaking to reporters later, SP Singh said the MLC’s son had refused to identify himself, misbehaved, and even clicked his photograph. The constable’s refusal to bow to political pressure, and his unapologetic stand for public order has earned him praise online, with many hailing him as an example of integrity in uniform.
