Overview
- Ghaziabad Police opened an internal inquiry into the incident and assigned it to the Indirapuram assistant commissioner of police.
- The clip, recorded on December 23 during an area-domination check in the Bhowapur/Bihari Market slum cluster, shows an officer pressing a phone to a man’s back and declaring him “from Bangladesh.”
- Officials describe the exercise as routine verification and deny using any scientific method or tool capable of detecting nationality.
- The family seen in the video says they are from Araria in Bihar and presented identity documents, asserting long-term residence in Ghaziabad.
- Multiple reports identify the officer as Kaushambi SHO Ajay Sharma, though police have not officially named him, as the video draws widespread online ridicule.
