The Mumbai Police has removed a driver from his post after a video surfaced showing him allegedly threatening youth protesters with drug charges.The incident, which gained traction on social media, involved the police driver at Sion Police Station warning two young individuals against returning to protest sites, claiming he would plant '50 grams of powder' on them to frame them in a drug case.The Maharashtra Home Department confirmed the driver has been shifted pending an inquiry.

This incident highlights ongoing tensions between authorities and youth protesters, with similar cases reported in Bengaluru where a man was booked for abusive remarks against Prime Minister Narendra Modi.

The protests in Delhi, initially demanding the resignation of Union Education Minister Dharmendra Pradhan over alleged paper leaks, have seen widespread participation and brutal police crackdowns, including the use of lathis and tear gas.The situation has sparked debates about police excesses and the role of social media in amplifying such incidents.While the Mumbai case underscores internal police misconduct, it also reflects broader concerns about state responses to dissent.
