KNOW UR RIGHTS :- Misbehaving/Abusing/Assaulting with a Bank employee comes under IPC 332 and 352 which may attract 2 to 3 year imprisonment and a non bailable crime!!! { Section 332 in The Indian Penal Code, 1860 :- 332. Voluntarily causing hurt to deter public servant from his duty.-- Whoever voluntarily causes hurt to any person being a public servant in the discharge of his duty as such public servant, or with intent to prevent or deter that person or any other public servant from discharging his duty as such public servant, or in consequence of anything done or attempted to be done by that person in the lawful discharge of his duty as such public servant, shall be punished with imprisonment of either description for a term which may extend to three years, or with fine, or with both. Section 352 in The Indian Penal Code, 1860 :- 352. Punishment for assault or criminal force otherwise than on grave provocation.-- Whoever assaults or uses criminal force to any person otherwise than on grave and sudden provocation given by that person, shall be punished with imprisonment of either description for a term which may extend to three months, or with fine which may extend to five hundred rupees, or with both. Explanation.- Grave and sudden provocation will not mitigate the punishment for an offence under this section, if the provocation is sought or voluntarily provoked by the offender as an excuse for the offence, or if the provocation is given by anything done in obedience to the law, or by a public servant, in the lawful exercise of the powers of such public servant, or if the provocation is given by anything done in the lawful exercise of the right of private defence. Whether the provocation was grave and sudden enough to mitigate the offence, is a question of fact. }
