Rajasthan cop seen "taking bribe" in pre-wedding shoot; served notice
What's the story
Apart from being obnoxiously expensive, unnecessary, and undeniably cringe-worthy, it seems pre-wedding shoots can also land one in serious trouble at work. Recently, a police inspector in Rajasthan was issued a notice after his seniors saw his pre-wedding shoot, which was uploaded online. In the video, the cop, Dhanpat, is seen donning his uniform, accepting a bribe from his fiancée (now wife), Kiran.

In video, Dhanpat-Kiran fall in love after she bribes him
The video, uploaded on July 10, shows Dhanpat stopping Kiran for riding a scooty without a helmet. He fines her, she apologizes, and then to get away, bribes him. He accepts it, and as he sniffs the note, Kiran walks away with Dhanpat's wallet, with songs playing in the background. To take his wallet back, Dhanpat meets Kiran again, and they fall in love.
