Holi shocker! Bengal man thrashed after son sprays colour on police vehicle

Kolkata, March 24: Enraged over a boy spraying colour on his official vehicle, a police officer in West Bengal's Nadia district allegedly dragged the child's father and thrashed him.

The district administration on Thursday initiated an inquiry into the incident which took place during Holi celebrations in Kalyani on Wednesday.
