Datia ASI, Constable Suspended After Viral Video Shows ‘Objectionable’ Dance With Bar Performers

A departmental inquiry will determine additional disciplinary steps.

Overview

  • The suspension follows a clip from a September 2 birthday party at a Datia hotel showing ASI Sanjeev Gaur dancing suggestively with hired performers.
  • Datia Superintendent of Police Suraj Verma ordered immediate removal from duty for Gaur and constable Rahul Bauddh pending the probe.
  • Police leadership said behavior that harms the force’s image will not be tolerated, with further action to follow based on the findings.
  • Local reports indicate the video, which spread widely on social media, was purportedly recorded by attendees at the party.
  • The episode echoes a recent Shivpuri case in which ASI Jitendra Jat was suspended after a reel showed him dancing with alleged gangster Rohit Parihar.
