The incident occured on late Sunday night (April 27) near Holy Public School, located in the Beta-2 police station jurisdiction. Constable Bhupendra Malik, assigned to a Police Response Vehicle (PRV), had reached the area along with a Home Guard after receiving a distress call about a road accident.

Malik then confronted the person who was filming the scene.

Another remarked, “Why are police officers behaving like this on a daily basis? Is this what the Constitution allows?”
A senior police officer confirmed Malik’s suspension following the viral video, with an inquiry initiated. A formal report has been sent for further action against the Home Guard involved.
