A special sub-inspector of police has been suspended for allegedly abusing farmers at a checkpoint in Tamil Nadu's Madurai, officials said on Thursday.

According to officials, Madurai City Police Commissioner J Loganathan took action against Special Sub-Inspector, Thavamani, after a video of the incident went viral on social media. The video shows Thavamani using obscene language towards farmers.

He was posted at Kodalputhur police station.

The incident occurred at a police checkpoint near the Paravai Vegetable Market in Madurai three days ago, officials said on Thursday.

The SSI had reportedly stopped a cargo vehicle carrying farmers and flower bags, leading to a confrontation.

In the video, Thavamani could be heard using abusive language and threatening to hit one of the farmers with his footwear, they added.

More details are awaited. (ANI)
