Kanpur, October 22: A policeman was seen touching feet of Uttar Pradesh minister Satish Mahana after a vehicle he was driving slightly hit the latter's car in Kanpur. A video of the incident, recorded by a passerby, has emerged in which the policeman is seen touching Mahana's feet to apologise.

The cop was driving a car of Chief Minister Yogi Adityanath's convoy when it touched Satish Mahana's vehicle. Visibly upset Mahana confronted the police, standing in front of the car that he was driving. To apologise for touching his car, the policeman touched the feet of Mahana in public.

"There was little space, and I was trying to make space for his car when it happened," the cop, whose identity was not immediately known, told news agency ANI. There was no word from the minister about the incident which took place on Monday in Kanpur.
