Thane: A shocking video of a policeman being pushed into a lake by four youths of a local Ganesh Utsav mandal trying to drown him in Kalyan township has gone viral here.

The youths had earlier objected to being disciplined by the policeman Niteen Dondu Dagale.

On the occasion of immersion of the Ganpati idols on Tuesday evening, sub-inspector Dagale (38), attached to Kolsewadi Police Station in Kalyan, was on bandobust duty at Teesgaon Talao of the town.

He was controlling the crowd assembled for the immersion and was disciplining the members of various mandals. The members of the Jari Mari Ganesh Utsav mandal were also asked to follow queue system. However, some youths of the mandal objected to being disciplined and picked up a quarrel with Dagale.

Dagale, however, managed to save himself by swimming out of the lake. The video of the incident showed people indulging in revelry while no one came to the rescue of the police officer. The accused youths are said to supporters of a local politician

Later, the youths pushed him into the lake. When Dagale tried to come out of the water, one of the four youths jumped in and again tried to drown him but in vain, a senior police officer said.
