BHABHUA------------------------------Following the circulation of a video on social media showing a dance performance, Kaimur Superintendent of Police (SP) Shikhar Chaudhary took decisive action by suspending two police officers posted at the Chainpur police station with immediate effect. Departmental proceedings have also been initiated against both officers. An investigation was conducted under the SP's directives, revealing that the viral video was from a wedding ceremony held approximately two years ago. The officers identified in the video are Sub-Inspectors (SI) Satyendra Kumar and Chandan Kumar, both posted at the Chainpur police station. The investigation also revealed that Ajit Yadav—previously accused in murder and Arms Act cases—was present at the event. The officers' public association with such an individual while watching the dance performance was deemed contrary to police conduct and discipline. Upon receiving the investigation report, the Kaimur SP took strict action and suspended both officers immediately; departmental proceedings have also been initiated against them in accordance with the rules. The Kaimur SP emphasized that the police uniform symbolizes discipline, impartiality, and responsibility, and that any activity violating duty and conduct standards will not be tolerated. Strict action, as per regulations, will be ensured against any police personnel found guilty during the investigation.
