Delhi Cop Suspended For Making Gun Reels During BRICS Duty

A Delhi Police constable deployed as a rooftop sniper during the 18th BRICS Summit has been suspended for allegedly making Instagram reels while handling firearms during security duty, officials said. 

The constable, Deepak Bangar, is posted with the Foreigners Cell of the Northwest district. He was deployed for security arrangements at a five-star hotel in Central Delhi where foreign delegates attending the summit were staying.

Bangar was assigned sniper duty on the hotel terrace as part of the security



arrangements. During his deployment, he allegedly recorded and uploaded videos showing himself handling firearms and later shared them on Instagram. 

The videos subsequently came to the notice of senior police officials, prompting an inquiry into the constable's conduct. The department suspended Bangar after taking note of the alleged violation of security protocols.

Officials are examining the circumstances in which the videos were recorded and uploaded, including whether the constable was on duty when the footage was made.
