The Kolkata Police has taken swift disciplinary action by suspending one of its officers pending a thorough investigation into their recent social media conduct. The department stated that the suspended officer’s online posts were found to be in potential violation of service conduct rules.
Authorities have confirmed that a detailed departmental inquiry is currently underway to determine the extent of the breach and to decide on any further administrative measures required. In the wake of this incident, the Kolkata Police administration has issued comprehensive and strict directives to all officers and personnel across the force.
The guidelines explicitly prohibit any police personnel from posting, sharing, or even liking content on social media that could be perceived as a violation of conduct rules or an attempt to influence the ongoing electoral atmosphere. The department emphasized that such actions are incompatible with the responsibilities of law enforcement officers.
