An Army officer and his son have been allegedly thrashed by cops over a parking dispute in Punjab’s Patiala.\u00a0<\/p>\n

The incident occurred on March 13 outside a roadside eatery and was caught on CCTV.<\/p>\n

The argument reportedly began when the police personnel, in civilian clothes, asked Colonel Pushpinder Bath, currently posted at the Army Headquarters in Delhi, to move his vehicle.<\/p>\n

The argument escalated when the officer objected to their tone. The police personnel then allegedly kicked and punched Colonel Bath.\u00a0<\/p>\n
