Investigation launched following social media complaints
The senior leader of the police’s SSP launched a detailed investigation to see if that video was authentic and its source, after receiving many complaints about it being circulated. The punishment is imposed for the Constable’s refusal to comply with a command issued by the Uttar Pradesh Police on 8 February 2023. This Directive expressly forbids police staff to make public photos and videos that they take privately on the Internet.
According to India Today, SSP Dr. Gaurav Grover stated, “Despite this directive, Constable Sandeep Kumar Chaubey violated the order by posting his video. Such actions are emblematic of a lack of discipline, and as a result, the Constable has been suspended.”
