Delhi Policeman Suspended After Viral PCR Van Video — Here’s What Happened

What happened?

A viral video involving a Delhi Police PCR van has triggered departmental action after personnel inside the vehicle were allegedly seen with a liquor bottle.

The footage spread across social media and prompted users to tag Delhi Police accounts while demanding action.

Delhi Police subsequently confirmed that an enquiry into the alleged incident had been conducted.

Who was identified?

According to Delhi Police, the personnel identified in connection with the video included a Delhi Police Head Constable and a Delhi Transport Corporation (DTC) driver.

Police have not publicly disclosed their identities.

After the enquiry, the Head Constable was placed under suspension.

The DTC driver was attached to the Lines, while further departmental action was initiated through the transport corporation.

What did Delhi Police say?

DCP PCR Delhi responded publicly after the video attracted attention online.

Police said they had taken cognisance of the viral footage and conducted an enquiry into the alleged incident.

The department said it does not endorse or tolerate misconduct and that appropriate action would be taken against those found responsible.

Where did the video come from?

According to current reporting, the video was shared on X by a user named Sunny Singh.

The post generated calls for action from social-media users, several of whom tagged Delhi Police accounts.

However, the person who shared the footage later said he had obtained it from social media.

He was unable to provide the exact date and time when the alleged incident occurred.

That means some details surrounding the original recording remain unclear.

What happened after the suspension?

The person who shared the viral footage questioned whether the disciplinary action was sufficient.

Delhi Traffic Police then asked him to provide the exact location, date and time of the incident.

He replied that he did not know the precise date and time but believed the video had been recorded shortly before it began circulating.

Delhi Traffic Police subsequently called for prompt verification and strict, impartial action against personnel found guilty.

Was the Head Constable caught drinking?

This distinction is important.

Some social-media posts and reports have described the incident as personnel drinking inside the PCR van.

However, more cautious reporting describes the viral footage as allegedly showing a policeman with a liquor bottle.

The confirmed development is the departmental response: Delhi Police conducted an enquiry, identified the personnel involved and suspended the Head Constable.

Without additional verified evidence about exactly what happened before or during the recording, claims beyond what the footage and official enquiry establish should be treated carefully.

Why did the video attract so much attention?

PCR vehicles are associated with emergency response and public safety.

Because of that, footage suggesting misconduct inside such a vehicle immediately raises questions about professionalism and accountability.

The reaction online therefore moved beyond the video itself.

Many users wanted to know whether disciplinary action would follow and how the authorities would respond publicly.
