A video has emerged showing the unidentified armed police personnel kicking the differently-abled man In Balasore, Odisha.
While locals alleged that the man was assaulted by RPF personnel on January 3 on a platform, officials of the central force said they had no information about the incident and that no complaint in this regard had been received.
The man who is seen with crutches was thrashed for allegedly stealing a mobile phone of a passenger of a Guwahati-bound train.

However, both RPF and Government Railway Police (GRP) of Balasore said they had no knowledge about any such incident.
A senior GRP official said, on condition of anonymity, that the inspector in-charge has been asked to ascertain whether any such person had been beaten up, trace him and register his complaint. "If any such incident has taken place, action will be taken against those involved, he said.
Suresh Prabhu later tweeted that the offenders have been suspended.
