Delhi Police has initiated disciplinary action against constable Bangar for breaching conduct guidelines by uploading videos of firearms on social media reels while performing official duties. The constable was posted at one of the hotels serving as a security venue during the BRICS summit, one of India's most significant diplomatic events.
The incident came to light when the videos surfaced on social media platforms, drawing attention to potential lapses in operational security protocols. Displaying weapons or security-related materials on public platforms raises concerns about information security and professional conduct during sensitive assignments.
The suspension reflects Delhi Police's commitment to maintaining strict discipline and professional standards among its personnel, particularly during high-profile security operations. Such breaches can compromise operational integrity and pose risks during critical assignments.
The action underscores the force's zero-tolerance approach toward misconduct and violations of service conduct rules. Authorities have indicated that a formal inquiry will determine the full extent of the breach and appropriate further action.
