"I regret at the rude & irresponsible behaviour of that police officer on duty. An enquiry has been ordered and action as deem fit would be taken," the DGP said.

The woman, Madhumita Baidya said on twitter : "Dear @tnpoliceoffl yesterday faced very inappropriate behaviour from the on duty police officer in Sea Shell avenue ECR Beach. After office hour my friend and I were sitting there with all decency and manner. We were not aware about the timing of the beach. The on duty police police officer came with full aggression and started to misbehave like I’m a terrorist or criminal." she said.

"The most disrespectful thing he told is “Go and roam in North India after 10 o’clock”. Being a north eastern how come I am being tagged as North Indian???? Is it because I cant speak Tamil language??Then I was replying him back so he threatened me to take me in his vehicle and he’ll file a case against me?Literally why?And there was no notice displayed about the timing for sitting in beach. Please train them to behave nicely atleast. I’m m not a criminal...," Madhumita had vented out her anger in her Twitter handle.
