Constable Suspended for Filming Reel on Chandigarh Road

Chandigarh : police constable was suspended after a video of him filming a reel on a public road went viral on social media. The reel, uploaded by his wife on his social media account, showed the constable posing and performing actions in uniform, leading to disciplinary action from the authorities.

According to reports, the constable had accompanied his wife to a temple visit when the video was recorded. While the exact location of the incident remains unclear, senior officials took note of the viral clip and deemed it inappropriate for an officer on duty. The Chandigarh Police Department acted swiftly, issuing a suspension order citing a breach of professional conduct and misuse of the uniform for personal content creation.

Social media users were quick to react, with mixed opinions on the matter. While some defended the constable, calling it a harmless act, others criticized the move, stating that law enforcement officers should maintain discipline and avoid activities that could undermine the integrity of their profession.

Authorities have emphasized that strict regulations must be followed when wearing a police uniform, especially in public spaces. The constable’s actions, even if unintentional, were considered a violation of protocol. Further investigations are underway, and the police department may introduce stricter guidelines regarding officers’ social media activities.

This incident has once again raised discussions about the growing influence of social media on professional ethics and the fine line between personal expression and official responsibility.
