Bihar’s Siwan district is reeling from a major embarrassment after a graphic video featuring a sub-inspector and a woman constable from Raghunathpur police station went viral across social platforms. Police Superintendent Puran Kumar Jha responded decisively by suspending both officers and initiating a thorough departmental investigation on April 22.
Depicting a private moment in what appears to be a station room—complete with a uniform draped on the wall—the video has drawn sharp criticism. It’s believed an unauthorized person covertly filmed the encounter, escaping when the female officer sensed trouble.
Reports indicate the videographers tried extorting the pair beforehand. The department had already shuffled their postings discreetly, but the online frenzy prompted immediate suspension. SP Jha has vowed uncompromising action against misconduct that damages the police reputation.
As the probe unfolds, the suspended personnel await their fate. This scandal underscores vulnerabilities in police conduct amid Bihar’s push for better policing. Netizens are vocal, calling for systemic reforms to uphold the badge’s honor and restore public trust.
