NEW DELHI: A video of a woman constable posted in the Agra district of Uttar Pradesh flaunting her service revolver has gone viral on social media. The viral video shows lady constable Priyanka Mishra in uniform flaunting her service revolver in style and lip-syncing to a song being played in the background that talks about ‘rangbaazi’.
The 37-second-long viral video appears to glorify crime as the lady constable, with a smile on her face, continues to lip-sync on the song that says, “Haryana and Punjab might have earned a bad reputation for crime but come to Uttar Pradesh we will show what is called ‘Rangbaazi’”,
The background song, with tempting music, further says ‘Neither do we glorify crime with songs, nor do we write ‘Jat and Gujjar’ on our vehicles, but in UP, kids as young as five know how to play with guns.”
With the video being widely circulated on social media platforms, the Agra Police have initiated an inquiry into the matter.
The probe was ordered by the Agra Senior Superintendent of Police who told reporters that the woman constable clearly violated the code of conduct followed by the UP police.
The SSP also clarified that the video was made when the woman constable was in the police storeroom where revolvers are kept. The SSP added that she does not have a service revolver allotted to her by the police department.
Though the video has now been deleted, it has evoked a sharp response from the netizens. The woman constable has also reportedly been shifted to the Police Lines.
