Officer ‘Reelbaaz ACP’ on Social Media
What started as a local Bahadurgarh incident quickly became global news when a social media video, allegedly originating from the ACP’s personal account, went live. Starting with the hashtag #ReelBaazACP, netizens quickly transformed the name into the hashtag name of the officer’s misuse of authority, ‘ReelBaaz ACP’. The officer’s actions then became the centerpiece for trending and posting behavior for social users associated with or using the officer’s supervision in their administrative duties.
Impact to Local Vegetable Vendors
The local vegetable vendors that were the subjects of the video have commented on the viability of their local small businesses in the area. Vendors have a clear discontentment with what is viewed as local civic enforcement action, which weighs on their ability to generate income by selling their vegetables.

The video may go on to ignite conversation online about how educated officials should (or should not) use their authority in the same public way that social media is commonly used online to convey duties. While some individuals agree with having strict civic measures enforced, others challenge the efforts made, the ethics of the decision made, and the public depiction of the bulldozer online.
