Known for creating controversies, police sub inspector Yasmeen Taj, attached to Mysuru district in Karnataka, has brought a black mark on the police department, which has been involved in doing a thankless job during coronavirus lockdown. 

 

The PSI reached a petrol bunk at Nanjungud, picked up a quarrel with the petrol bunk staff and the public. She was seen using expletives and beating up the public. A person recorded this and now the video is going viral. 

 

The woman cop was earlier involved in assaulting a sculptor and threatening him. She was also accused of blackmailing a TV journalist to convert and marry her. 

 

Following her action, SP Rishyanth has placed her on suspension.
