Bihar SHO Suspended for Brandishing Pistol During Flood Relief Distribution
The station house officer of Maker Police Station in Bihar's Saran district, Sangram Kumar Singh, was suspended after a video showing him brandishing a pistol at flood-affected people during relief distribution went viral on social media. The suspension was described as a response to alleged gross negligence, indiscipline, and arbitrariness. Singh will receive subsistence allowance during suspension. Nearly 9.87 lakh people across six Bihar districts have been affected by floods following heavy rainfall in late September.
