What happens when the law keepers turn into lawbreakers; when they start victimizing the very same people, whom they are supposed to protect.
In a shameless incident, a police inspector in Deoria district of Uttar Pradesh has been suspended for masturbating at a woman in the police station.
As per the reports, he was recorded on camera masturbating at a woman and her daughter when they went to the police station to file a complaint on June 22.
As per Times Now, the accused inspector has been identified as Bhishmpal Singh Yadav. The woman has alleged that the officer was touching his private parts in front of her when she was taken to his chamber to lodge the complaint. After the same behaviour was shown by him on multiple days, the victim’s daughter decided to shoot the video.
As per News 18, the complainant woman said,
“I ignored his misbehaviour for the first 2-3 times and wanted him to lodge our case in the land dispute. But then one of my relatives had said that she also faced a similar incident at the hands of this officer. This is when I decided to film him.”
The video of the incident went viral on Tuesday.
As per a report in Times of India, Deoria Superintendent of Police (SP) Shripati Mishra said that an FIR has been filed against the police officer at Bhatni police station on the victim’s complaint.
Charged for voyeurism, an act intended to outrage the modesty of a woman, the inspector was suspended on June 26.
In her complaint, the victim stated that she had gone to the police station in connection with a land dispute case on June 22. She further added that the inspector indulged in an indecent act while discussing the land dispute case. During this time, the victim’s daughter recorded the video of the accused police officer.
The video went viral after the victim’s neighbor forwarded the video to other people.
Meanwhile, the incident has caused outrage among the local residents, who have demanded strict action against the accused officer.
Even netizens came forward on social media to express their anger and disgust against the incident:
Shameful and Disgraceful!

The complaint should be investigated impartially and results should be shared with public. The inspector if guilty must be made an example of! Its a matter of our state’s reputation and safety of our citizens
Abhorrent ! Only a sick mind can do it

Will such a scumbag be sent back to police lines or transfered or just reprimanded & then all is forgotten? @dgpup sir, atleast this time dismiss him from the service with no benefits. Set an example for once. Otherwise there is no use wearing those heavy emblems on your uniform.

At IFORHER, we are not only ashamed but also disgusted by how an on-duty police officer could even think of conducting himself so shamefully. The incidents like such stop helpless women to reach out to police for help. We are in awe of complainant’s daughter as she didn’t hesitate to stand for herself and her mother. We hope many more would seek inspiration from her true courage.
