Patna SDM Shrikant Kundlik Khandekar was in civil clothes and was mistakenly hit by the policeman during the lathi charge on the supporters of Bharat Bandh on Wednesday. The bizarre incident occurred, as the policeman mistakenly thought the SDM was a civilian supporting Bharat Bandh.&nbsp;

The video went viral on X (formerly Twitter), in which the policeman is seen hitting the SDM with a stick. The SDM was standing in the middle of the road and dispersing the protesters. The SDM got agitated as soon as he got hit by the policeman. Other policemen on the scene quickly stopped the cop and took him to the side, explaining to him about the person he mistakenly hit. They then escorted the SDM from the scene. The policeman who hit the SDM unintentionally was apologising for the mistake he made unintentionally.&nbsp;

The police were forced to do the lathi charge after the protesters broke the barricades at the JP Golambar intersection and reached the Dak Bungalow Chowk. As a result, the traffic got blocked. 
 
Senior Superintendent of Police, Patna, Rajeev Mishra, said to PTI, “Security personnel resorted to mild lathi-charge to disperse protesters who blocked movement of traffic at Dak Bunglow Chowk and later broke the police barricade.

The Bharat Bandh was announced by ‘Reservation Bachao Sangharsh Samiti’, against a ruling of the Supreme Court. The ruling said that the governments can further sub-classify the Scheduled Castes and Scheduled Tribes to grant the quota to more backward castes who are in genuine need of it, amongst these communities. The Bharat Bandh supporters are demanding the Supreme Court ruling to be reversed.&nbsp;
