In a concerning incident, on-duty policemen assigned to highway patrolling in government vehicles have been implicated in an alarming situation. Shockingly, these officers were found participating in an alcohol and mutton party while on duty. Responding promptly to this disgraceful act, Belgaum SP Bhima Shankar Guled has taken decisive action by ordering the suspension of two policemen involved.
Details surrounding the incident indicate that police personnel Vilas Dhumale and Santosh Kamate were on duty in patrol vehicle 112, designated to the Chikodi police station. While conducting their patrol near Nagral village, the officers were discovered engaging in a party, consuming alcohol and mutton while seated on the ground. The disturbing nature of this behavior was captured on video and has circulated widely.
Recognizing the severity of the situation, Belgaum District Police SP Bhima Shankar Guled has taken a stern stance by suspending both police personnel engaged in this inappropriate conduct. This sends a clear message that such misconduct will not be tolerated within the ranks of the police force.
It is crucial to emphasize that the 112 emergency number scheme is designed to offer a toll-free contact for citizens requiring police assistance during various emergencies. To fulfill this purpose, specially equipped patrol vehicles have been deployed. However, the revelation that officers entrusted with aiding citizens in times of crisis are instead involved in alcohol-fueled parties raises legitimate concerns about their ability to effectively respond to those in need.
