NOIDA: Two police officials in Noida were suspended for alleged indiscipline after they apparently failed to recognise a vehicle of the Uttar Pradesh police chief on Wednesday, officials said.
Director General of Police (DGP) OP Singh was on his way to attend a meeting in New Delhi when he happened to cross the city, according to a senior Gautam Budh Nagar police official.
The officials -- a sub-inspector and a constable -- were from the Sector 39 police station and deployed at the Amrapali police check post when the incident took place around 2.30 pm on Wednesday, Senior Superintendent of Police (SSP) Ajay Pal Sharma said.
"The SI and the constable were not wearing their caps, which were kept in their gypsy, while they were on duty. They had failed to recognise the vehicle of the DGP and their approach was very casual during the episode. So they have been suspended for indiscipline," the SSP told PTI.
Dismissing the reports that the SI and the constable had argued with the DGP, Mr Sharma clarified that the two had recognised the police chief after reaching near the vehicle.
OP Singh, who has previously served in various organisations including the SPG (PM Security) and headed the National Disaster Response Force (NDRF) and Central Industrial Security force (CISF), was appointed as the UP DGP on January 1 this year.

Kerala: A routine traffic stop in Kerala turned into a brief musical interaction when a Carnatic vocalist, who was pulled over for not wearing a helmet, ended up performing with the traffic inspector.
The incident happened when the vocalist was stopped by the police for a helmet violation. During the conversation, the officer learned that the rider was a Carnatic singer. In response, the inspector mentioned that he played the Mridangam.
What followed was a short performance where the singer gave a vocal piece and the inspector accompanied him on the Mridangam. Passersby watched and recorded the moment on their phones.
Videos of the exchange were later shared on social media and received positive reactions. Many appreciated the light moment during a regular traffic duty.
