In a viral video, DC Ranbir Sharma was seen slapping a person and slamming his phone on the ground.

“He said he was out for vaccination but there was no proper document. Later, he said he was going to visit his grandmother. I slapped him in heat of the moment when he misbehaved. He was 23-24-year-old and not 13. I regret and apologise for my behaviour,” Sharma said in a video.
