Bihar police suspend Purnia SHO Shabana Azmi over uniform reels
India
Bihar police have suspended Shabana Azmi, a station house officer from Purnia, for making reels and shorts while in uniform, something that goes against official conduct rules.
This move is part of a wider effort to stop officers from using social media platforms like Instagram and Facebook for personal popularity.
Bihar police identify 50 personnel
Azmi's suspension is not an isolated case: it is part of a statewide crackdown.
Police have identified 50 personnel across 20 districts (with 16 just from Patna) who have made similar posts.
On April 20, top officials reminded everyone that creating content in uniform is off-limits and mobile phones should be used for work only, all to keep up the discipline and integrity expected from the force.
