Two Delhi cops have landed themselves into trouble for making amusement videos and sharing them on social media, during duty hours. In the video, male and female police personnel were seen acting to the tune of Bollywood song "Tukur Tukur Dekhte Ho Kya" and both of them were donning their uniforms. The video had gone viral within hours. Now, a show-cause notice has been issued to both the constables.
As per reports, head constable Shashi and constable Vivek Mathur were posted with the Model Town police station. Now, North West DCP, Usha Rangnani has issued a show-cause notice after the videos were brought to her notice. The notice stated that the duo was a part of the disciplined force and their conduct appeared unprofessional in the discharge of their official duties. Officials also highlighted that both the constables were not adhering to COVID-19 guidelines.
