Madhya Pradesh Cop Removes Uniform After BJP Threat
Madhya Pradesh Cop Removes Uniform After Alleged Threat from BJP Leader
A video showing Assistant Sub-Inspector Vinod Mishra from Madhya Pradesh removing his uniform in front of officials has gone viral. The incident occurred on February 2 at the Kotwali police station in Singrauli district after BJP leader Arjun Gupta allegedly threatened Mishra. The video, surfacing seven months later, has ignited political tensions.
Dispute Leads to Tense Meeting
The conflict began earlier this year when Mishra got into a dispute with local residents over a drain construction project. Municipal corporation officials and police arrived to mediate, and a meeting was held at the Kotwali police station. During the meeting, BJP leader Arjun Gupta, husband of a local councilor, allegedly threatened Mishra, saying he would have his uniform removed.
Mishra’s Response and Aftermath
In a fit of agitation, Mishra took off his uniform shirt in front of everyone, including police officials and municipal representatives. CCTV footage of the event captured the scene, with those present trying to calm him down. The video only recently surfaced on social media, drawing widespread attention.
Disciplinary Action and Investigation
Following the incident, Mishra faced disciplinary action. Superintendent of Police Nivedita Gupta confirmed that Mishra was reprimanded months ago. She explained that Mishra had health issues and was involved in a land dispute with the councilor. Gupta also ordered an investigation into how the CCTV footage was leaked after such a long delay.
Political Reactions
The viral video has sparked a political uproar, with the opposition Congress party criticizing the ruling BJP. In a statement posted on X (formerly Twitter), the Madhya Pradesh Congress accused the BJP of misusing power, highlighting the pressure and helplessness faced by police officers under political influence. They claimed the incident reflects the deteriorating law and order situation in the state.
