After the photo of the footprint on his back went viral (left), mid-day reached out to constable Satish Modak for his side of the story
Constable Satish Modak was among thousands of cops who had our backs during the Maratha protests, protecting people after the agitation turned violent. But now, he's become the butt of WhatsApp jokes, thanks to a viral picture of a muddy footprint on his back, where one of the protesters kicked him. The picture has left the entire police force shaken, especially Modak.
Across the state, it was the police who bore the brunt of the Marathas' resentment. Several cops got injured as protesters pelted stones and thrashed them. In constable Modak's town alone, five policemen got hurt. "My grandfather and father were both in force. My father died while he was on duty at the same spot where we were attacked. I joined the police to carry on the tradition. But seeing that muddy footprint on my uniform hurt me. I washed the stain before going home, as I didn't wanted my family to feel the same pain," he said.
