Pradeep Sejul, the Superintendent of Police, Jamnagar, said,

Yes, cricketer Ravindra Jadeja’s wife was attacked by a policeman. Sanjay Kurangiya, a police constable with Jamnagar police was coming out of the headquarters, whose gate opens on the road side. Reeva was in her four-wheeler. They had a little altercation, after which the policeman physically attacked Reeva. She suffered small bruises. Nothing serious. So she registered a police complaint. The policeman was arrested on the spot.

An eye-witness Vijaysinh Chavda adds,

The policeman mercilessly thrashed Reeva and even pulled her hair during an altercation. We saved her from his clutches. 

How to avoid a road rage incident?

Tempers can run high after an accident with another vehicle. It’s advisable that you just drive away, and claim insurance for the damaged vehicle rather than getting into an argument with the owner of the other vehicle involved. People can behave unpredictably, often with dangerous consequences, especially under pressure.

This is another reason why it’s better to drive away from a crash if you can, rather than pressing for compensation. In this particular case, it seems that the cop completely lost his cool and got extremely violent, in the process assaulting a woman.
