Old Video Of Cop Removing Uniform After Argument With BJP Leader Goes Viral

Following the incident, disciplinary action was taken against Assistant Sub-Inspector Vinod Mishra for his conduct.

A video of a Madhya Pradesh cop removing his uniform in front of his superiors and municipal corporation officials after he was allegedly threatened by a BJP leader has surfaced online, igniting political tensions. The incident happened seven months back on February 2 in Kotwali police station of Singrauli district, Madhya Pradesh.

Earlier this year, a dispute broke out between Assistant Sub-Inspector Vinod Mishra and local residents over the construction of a drain in the Kotwali police station area. After the altercation, municipal corporation officials and cops arrived at the scene to resolve the issue, following which, a meeting was held at the police station.

During the meeting, BJP leader Arjun Gupta, husband of a local councilor, allegedly threatened Mr Mishra that he will get his uniform removed. In response, Mr Mishra, seemingly agitated, took off his uniform shirt in front of everyone, including the town inspector and other officials. The entire incident was caught on CCTV. People present at the meeting can be seen trying to calm Mr Mishra down.
