Among the handful who ran into trouble for flouting the code of conduct, is this UP police officer whose videos in uniform went viral and came to the attention of his seniors.?
In the video?sub-inspector Mohammad Arif, who is posted at the PGI police station is seen?reciting a dialogue, "Yeh police station hai, jab tak baithne ko na kaha jaaye baitho nahi, tumhare baap ka ghar nahi hai. (This is a police station, not your father's house. Don't sit till you are asked to)"
In the second video, he can be heard saying that neither friendship nor enmity of cops is good. In this video, Arif is sitting in a chair and can also be seen pointing towards his service revolver, which is kept behind him on a table.
Senior police officer in Lucknow Kalanidhi Naithani said, "We will seek an explanation from the cop for posting the video on the social media. If a cop is on duty and is wearing the uniform, discipline should be followed. General instructions are also being issued to policemen not to indulge in such indiscipline on social media platforms by posting videos in uniform."
