Sources: 3. Developments: 2. In August 2026, two separate incidents involving police personnel in Uttar Pradesh, India, led to disciplinary actions and investigations following the circulation of viral videos. In Meerut, a sub-inspector named Anu was suspended after an ‘objectionable’ video appeared on social media. The suspension followed scrutiny of a QR code in her content, which reportedly raised questions regarding a request for money. While the officer had been active on YouTube and Instagram sharing personal and fitness content, authorities stated that no footage of her in uniform had surfaced. A departmental inquiry is underway to verify the video and determine further action. In Barabanki, a constable named Kapil Tiwari became the subject of a formal investigation after a video surfaced showing him threatening a driver, Vishal Yadav. The footage reportedly captures Tiwari stating he would beat the driver in broad daylight. Police officials noted the dispute began when the driver allegedly used offensive language during a patrol encounter. The Superintendent of Police has ordered an investigation to confirm the facts before taking departmental action. ## Timeline ### 2026-08-25: Barabanki police officer under investigation after viral threat video A viral video showing a Barabanki police constable threatening a driver has prompted an official investigation by Uttar Pradesh police authorities. 3 sources. https://clstr.news/cluster/barabanki-police-officer-under-investigation-after-viral-threat-video ### 2026-08-17: Uttar Pradesh Police sub-inspector suspended over social media video A Uttar Pradesh Police sub-inspector in Meerut has been suspended for violating social media policies after an objectionable video featuring a QR code sparked scrutiny. 2 sources. https://clstr.news/cluster/uttar-pradesh-police-sub-inspector-suspended-over-social-media-video --- Cite as: Police misconduct investigations in Uttar Pradesh.
