Zero Tolerance Policy Enforced as Officer Caught Drinking on Duty in J&K

Ramban’s senior police leadership has reinforced a zero‑tolerance stance after an ASI was found drinking alcohol while on the job. The officer will be placed at the district hospital’s nasha‑mukti (de‑addiction) centre for a month, as per the SSP’s written order.

A medical officer’s confirmation of the officer’s intoxication prompted the swift response. The SSP warned that any form of negligence or misconduct during duty will be met with stringent penalties, highlighting that discipline remains paramount for the police force and its reputation among citizens.
