The district administration has identified 14 persons, including five women, and asked them to appear for an inquiry at Palladam Taluk office, police said.
The inquiry officer and Coimbatore district Superintendent of Police, Raya Bharati has already obtained the version of a woman, Easwari, who was allegedly slapped by the ADSP Pandiarajan, the video of which had gone viral.
The inquiry report on the entire incident is expected to be submitted to the higher authorities in a week, police said.
As the protesters refused to disperse, Additional Deputy Superintendent of Police Pandiarajan slapped one of the women and pushed two others, asking them to move away from the road.
Protesting this, a section of the agitators allegedly pelted stones at the police, who then resorted to lathicharge to disperse them.
