Video of cop removing uniform after argument with BJP leader's husband: Cong slams MP govt
Singrauli (PTI): 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.
Meanwhile, Additional Superintendent of Police (ASP) Shiv Kumar Verma said a probe into the video of February was instituted by then SP Yousuf Qureshi.
After receiving the probe report, present SP Nivedita Gupta had ordered stoppage of Mishra's annual increment, he added.
Arjun Gupta, husband of BJP corporator Gauri Gupta, said allegations that he had torn Mishra's clothes had now been proved as untrue.
The argument was over construction of a drain and Gupta claimed he had only told Mishra he would tear off his uniform if he continued to get agitated.
Mishra on Monday said Gupta threatened to tear off his clothes and get him thrown out of service in the presence of police station in-charge Sudhesh Tiwari, adding he removed his uniform after feeling insulted.
"I should not have reacted like this," Mishra added.
Madhya Pradesh shocker !!

EAM Jaishankar meets Jamaican PM, gifts over 10 BHISHM Cubes
Kingston (PTI): External Affairs Minister S Jaishankar on Monday met Jamaican Prime Minister Andrew Holness and discussed ways to further deepen "political, economic and people-to-people cooperation."
Jaishankar also conveyed greetings from Prime Minister Narendra Modi to Holness.
"Pleased to call on Prime Minister @AndrewHolnessJM in Kingston. Conveyed the greetings of PM @narendramodi," Jaishankar posted on X.
"Discussed deepening our political, economic and people-to-people cooperation. Value his commitment towards further strengthening India-Jamaica relations," the post further read.
Also, the external affairs minister handed over 10 BHISHM (Bharat Health Initiative for Sahyog Hita & Maitri) Cubes as a gift to Jamaica.
"Formally handed over 10 BHISHM Cubes as a gift from India to Jamaica, in the presence of PM @AndrewHolnessJM, Health Minister @christufton and FM @kaminajsmith," Jaishankar posted on X.
"The BHISHM Cube mobile hospital system, designed for rapid deployment, will help Jamaica during disasters and emergencies. The gift of these cubes is a statement of friendship, a commitment to disaster preparedness, and an outcome of innovation," the post said.
Jaishankar arrived in Kingston on Saturday evening, marking the first leg of his nine-day tour of Jamaica, Suriname, and Trinidad and Tobago, aimed at further strengthening India's strategic and cultural ties with the Caribbean nations.
Earlier in the day, he interacted with the Indian diaspora and discussed India's ongoing transformation in infrastructure, human development and technology-driven governance and entrepreneurship with them.
He also highlighted the cricket bond between both countries as India gifted a scoreboard to Jamaica.
A scoreboard was dedicated at Sabina Park in Kingston. It is the home of the Jamaica cricket team and is the only Test cricket ground in the Caribbean island nation.
The minister expressed hope that the new scoreboard would witness many memorable innings, including those symbolising the enduring friendship between the two countries.
Cricket has long been a strong cultural bridge between India and Jamaica, which is part of the West Indies cricket team.
Jamaican players, including Chris Gayle, Courtney Walsh and Michael Holding, have played a major role in shaping the legacy of West Indies cricket in the international arena, contributing to its dominance in earlier decades and its continued global appeal.
