KANPUR:
Kanpur police found themselves in an embarrassing situation after another video of a cop listening to the grievance of a woman while lying on a bed surfaced on social media.
Senior officials told TOI that the video was one-and-a-half-month old and the sub-inspector in question was unwell on that particular day.
In the video,
sub-inspector Brijesh Shukla, posted at
Panki Road police outpost, is seen listening to a woman's complaint while lying, making the complainant uncomfortable.
Soon after the video came to light, circle officer, Kalyanpur, Ajay Kumar ordered a probe into the matter following which the cop was identified. "We have conducted initial probe and questioned S-I Brijesh Shukla. All other police officials seen in the video have also been identified. Investigations, however, revealed that the video was about one-and-a-half month old and the sub-inspector in question was taking rest as he had severe stomach ache on that day," CO Ajay Kumar said.
A few days ago, another video of a police officer shaming a victim of molestation for wearing ornaments while going out was circulated on social media.
The victim, along with her parents, had gone to file a complaint at Nazirabad police station of Kanpur.
