"Anti-Romeo squad had received information that some men had harassed school girls. The team immediately took action. A case has been registered and an accused has been arrested," police official Anil Kumar was quoted by ANI.
Many Tweeple appeared to be endorsing the action of the woman cop and said public humiliation was the best way to deal with such miscreants.
For some reasons I support this illegal action.

Too many bastards roam around such places...

On the other hand, some questioned her actions and quipped, the woman cop should have followed legal procedure.
Shows lack of understanding and training

She should've handcuffed and detained him
A good lawyer may make a case against her for disproportionate use of power on a person who isn't resisting or attacking
Banana republic justice :-), Do police have authorization ?

She could have done the same, removing her Identification credentials to avoid police embarrassment.
