Burmese authorities have said they will investigate a video which
appears to show police beating members of the Rohingya minority.
The government said the incident, filmed by a police officer, happened in restive Rakhine state in November, according to BBC report.
There have been repeated allegations of abuses against the Muslim minority in Rakhine, with some saying the state's actions amount to ethnic cleansing.
Officials have previously said security forces are following the rule of law.
Rakhine state is closed to journalists and investigators, making it difficult to independently verify the allegations.
