A Delhi police officer has been suspended after he was caught on camera issuing an excessive fine of Rs 5000 to a Korean vlogger for allegedly not wearing a helmet while riding a motorcycle. The incident, which was recorded by the vlogger and later shared on social media, sparked outrage among netizens, leading to swift action by the authorities.
The video footage shows the police officer stopping the Korean vlogger, who was riding a motorcycle without a helmet, and demanding a fine. However, what followed raised eyebrows and caused widespread criticism. In the video, the officer can be heard saying, “Give me all the cash, 5000 rupees, right now.”
The vlogger, taken aback by the demand, handed over the cash as instructed. It is essential to note that the standard fine for riding without a helmet in Delhi is significantly lower than the amount demanded by the police officer.
The incident came to light when the vlogger posted the video on social media, expressing his shock and disappointment at the officer’s behavior. The video quickly went viral, drawing attention from the public and prompting calls for action against the errant police officer.
The Delhi Police took swift action in response to the incident. The officer involved was suspended pending a detailed investigation into the matter. Senior officials from the Delhi Police have assured that appropriate action will be taken based on the findings of the inquiry.
The incident has ignited discussions about police conduct and the importance of upholding the principles of fairness and integrity in law enforcement. Law-abiding citizens and tourists visiting the city should not be subjected to unjust treatment or excessive fines.
Authorities have emphasized that such incidents are not reflective of the overall conduct of the Delhi Police, who are committed to ensuring the safety and security of all residents and visitors in the city.
The case serves as a reminder of the significance of transparency and accountability in law enforcement. The Delhi Police is dedicated to upholding the law and protecting the rights of individuals, and any instances of misconduct or abuse of authority are taken seriously.
As the investigation into the incident progresses, the Delhi Police aims to address the concerns of the public and restore faith in the professionalism and integrity of the force.
