The incident happened in the Civil Lines area of Kanpur on Wednesday where two constables, identified as Hemant Kumar and Lokesh Rajput, had gone to eat snacks in civil uniform.

Lokesh, who was allegedly under the influence of alcohol, had a verbal spat with a local vendor. He then urinated on the vendor's cart as the other constable, Hemant, watched. Lokesh also allegedly indulged in a spat with the locals when they tried to stop him from urinating. Later, the duo apologised to the people and fled.

The police later suspended the constables after the video went viral on social media.
