Four policemen posted at an important intersection in Lucknow were caught fighting on camera on Sunday morning. Eyewitnesses said the fight was over division of bribes collected from trucks and other vehicles that pass through the area.
In the video, two of the policemen are seen raining blows on each other, pushing, pulling and jostling. Two others are seen trying to break up the fight but it is impossible to pull apart the combatants. They even take up their lathis but fail to prevail. Later they were joined by a fifth policeman, a senior officer, who also tried to break up the fight.
The local police, however, denied the reports of bribery, reported news agency Press Trust of India.
