What's the story

In a shocking incident, a man was allegedly beaten by a government officer at the Regional Passport Office (RPO), Ghaziabad, over presenting digital documents for the renewal of his passport.

The man, Anmol Jain, shared a video on Twitter, where the unidentified officer is seen hurling abuses and thrashing Jain.

Jain claimed that the assailant was the Assistant Passport Officer at the Ghaziabad RPO.

Jain presented documents on DigiLocker; officer demanded originals

Jain, who hails from Bulandshahr (UP), told News State that the incident occurred on Wednesday afternoon when he went to the RPO to get his passport renewed.

Jain then presented his documents using DigiLocker- an online platform for issuance and verification of documents launched by the Government of India.

This allegedly led to an argument between Jain and the officer, who demanded original documents.
