Rajasthan Police have launched a probe based on a viral video that showed a sobbing traffic constable accusing a few men of misbehaving with him when he was clearing traffic in Churu district, officials said on Tuesday.

The video, shot by a man talking to the head constable, showed the traffic official claiming that a few men with "political connections" harassed him and asked him to visit "mantri ji ki kothi (minister's house)".
