Bhatia was reprimanding the woman police officer over her mishandling of a dispute between a husband and a wife. According to the marital dispute case, the husband wanted to leave the wife because, according to him, she was not physically fit. Bhatia had, thus, ordered for the couple’s medical examination.

The woman police officer, however, failed to comply with Bhatia’s orders. Though the woman was tested thrice, the man refused to get tested even once.

Bhatia on learning about the same, is seen rebuking the officer. The woman cop in response to Bhatia’s allegations, says, “We have not come here to get insulted”.

In response, Bhatia says, “Are you here to get the girl insulted?” She then directs the SHO to take the female cop outside the meeting hall.

The woman cop, however, asks how she had insulted the women. Bhatia once again asks her why she had to get the woman tested thrice. “Do not argue with me, get out,” Bhatia tells the women police officer.

Bhatia later told the media, “We got a case involving a husband and wife. The husband misbehaved several times with members of the commission and the police. The man wanted to leave the wife because, according to him, she was not ‘physically fit. So, we ordered medical tests for both of them. The investigating officer, however, failed to get it done. So, we have ordered a departmental inquiry against her.”
