Singrauli, September 16: The Congress on Monday slammed the Madhya Pradesh government after a video of an irate policeman disrobing in Singrauli went viral on social media. However, police authorities said the video was of February and action had already been taken against assistant sub inspector Vinod Mishra who is seen in indulging in the act after a heated exchange with the husband of a BJP corporator.
The Congress uploaded the clip during the day and said, "The level of policing in the state has become zero. Crimes are uncontrolled, criminals are fearless and the police are helpless at some places and under pressure at other places." "This viral video is said to be from Waidhan police station of Singrauli, where a policeman got so upset due to the pressure of the BJP councillor that he tore his uniform," the party said, adding the condition of the home department had deteriorated under Chief Minister Mohan Yadav. ‘Wardi Utarwa Denge’: Singrauli ASI Allegedly Tears His Uniform in Front of Senior Officers After BJP Leader’s Alleged Threat in Madhya Pradesh, Video Goes Viral.
