A police inspector in Raipur has been subjected to disciplinary measures following the circulation of a video showing him touching the feet of Bageshwar Dham’s Dhirendra Shastri at the local airport. The officer, identified as Manish Tiwari, was on duty at the time of the incident. Authorities have confirmed that his actions constituted a breach of service conduct and were deemed disrespectful to the police uniform. As a consequence, Tiwari has been moved to police lines. The video, which quickly went viral on social media platforms, prompted an investigation into the officer’s behavior. Officials have reiterated that uniformed personnel are expected to maintain a professional distance and avoid actions that could be perceived as compromising their official capacity or the neutrality of their role. The decision to take action aims to reinforce the importance of maintaining the dignity and integrity associated with law enforcement. Dhirendra Shastri, a well-known religious figure, was in Raipur to lead religious programs and has a considerable following. His recent public statements, particularly those concerning the Hindu community in Bangladesh, have also been a subject of discussion.
