Overview
- DCP Nimish Patil said the footage was recorded during an area domination exercise by Kaushambi police with Rapid Action Force personnel on December 23.
- The video shows a senior officer placing what appears to be a smartphone on a man’s back and stating the man was from Bangladesh as the family said they were from Bihar and showed proof.
- Police assigned the inquiry to the Indirapuram ACP, and the officer in the video has not been officially named pending the probe.
- Earlier, ACP Indirapuram Abhishek Srivastava said the clip reflected routine questioning and asserted no scientific or technical device was used.
- Media reports note the video’s authenticity has not been independently verified, and the operation formed part of broader checks targeting suspected illegal immigrants in slum clusters.
