Two Assistant Sub-Inspectors (ASIs) in Mandsaur, Madhya Pradesh, were suspended after a video of them cutting a birthday cake with “habitual criminals” went viral on social media.
The two police officers were identified as Sunil Singh Tomar and Jagdish Thakur, who were stationed at the Nai Abadi police station. The video, which surfaced Sunday evening, purportedly showed the officers celebrating a birthday alongside repeat offenders.
Although the exact date of the video remains unverified, Mandsaur Superintendent of Police (SP) Abhishek Anand both ASIs and sent them to the police lines.
“A video of ASIs Jagdish Thakur and Sunil Singh Tomar, stationed at Nai Abadi police station, has gone viral on social media,” SP Abhishek Anand said in his suspension order. “In the video, they are seen cutting a birthday cake with habitual criminal Pappu Dayma, who has several serious cases registered against him. Upon reviewing the video, it appears that the officers engaged in grave misconduct. Consequently, both ASIs are suspended with immediate effect and attached to the Reserve Centre in Mandsaur.”
