An on-duty police inspector at Raipur Airport has been disciplined after a video emerged showing him touching the feet of spiritual leader Dhirendra Krishna Shastri. Authorities have confirmed that the inspector’s actions were in violation of service rules and compromised the dignity expected of the police uniform. The incident, captured and shared widely on social media, led to immediate administrative action. The officer in question, identified as Manish Tiwari, was attached to the police lines. Reports indicate that Tiwari, who was the station in-charge at the time, first saluted Shastri upon his arrival at the airport before bending to touch his feet. The display of deference, while in uniform, has been deemed inappropriate by senior officials. This disciplinary measure underscores the importance of maintaining official neutrality and the integrity of law enforcement while on duty. The incident has sparked public discussion regarding the separation of personal devotion and professional conduct.
