FACT CHECK
NewsMobile fact-checked the post, and found it to be misleading.
Running a Reverse Image search through the keyframes of the video, we found the same video uploaded by multiple media outlets on YouTube. As per the reports, the video is from Mathura.
On March 30, 2023, Amar Ujala Uttar Pradesh had uploaded the video with a title:

The same video had also been uploaded by Navbharat Times and Live Hindustan, mentioning that the video was from Mathura.
According to Navbharat Times reports, the videos show GRP (Government Railway Police) constable stepping on the foot of a youth lying at the railway station in Mathura. The report also mentioned that the incident took place on March 08, 2023.
The Superintendent of Police, GRP, Agra, in a tweet, says that an investigation into the matter has been launched and both the GRP personnel have been suspended.
