A police inspector on duty at Raipur Airport is facing repercussions after a video showing him touching the feet of Dhirendra Krishna Shastri went viral online. The Chhattisgarh police department has taken disciplinary action against the inspector, Manish Tiwari, who has been attached to the police lines. According to officials, the inspector’s conduct was a breach of service regulations and an affront to the dignity of the police uniform. The footage captured the moment Tiwari, serving as station in-charge, saluted Shastri and then proceeded to touch his feet upon the latter’s arrival. The viral nature of the video prompted an immediate review by higher authorities, who concluded that such an act is unacceptable for an on-duty officer. This action serves as a clear directive on maintaining the professional integrity and neutrality expected from police personnel.
