How did the incident unfold?

On Wednesday, a video purportedly from the Shamli Dial 112 office went viral on social media. In the video, the in-charge of Dial 112 and a constable are seen sitting in uniform, while another officer is sitting without a uniform.

The video of the officers drinking was reportedly made by another police officer and posted on X. Following its circulation on X, SP Ram Sevak Gautam assigned the investigation to ASP Santosh Singh. ASP Santosh Singh stated that the investigation has commenced, and statements from other police officers at the Dial 112 office will also be recorded.

However, Top India News was unable to verify if the was an authentic video or not and hence does not hold accountability. Hindustan does not confirm the authenticity of this video.
