Viral Video: A latest viral video of social media exposes how some policemen misuse their powers for vested interests. The video went viral, showing two cops traveling illegally in the 2nd AC (air-conditioned) coach of a train without tickets. Things took a dramatic turn when the duo was confronted by a TTE, and what followed was an even more startling display of entitlement and arrogance.
Defiant Attitude and Escalating Threats
The video shows that the policemen, in uniform, were involved in an aggressive argument with the TTE, who was enforcing railway rules. The confrontation became quite heated, with them challenging the TTE and making threatening remarks. Their act of refusing to comply and their hostile attitude show a misuse of the uniform and position.
According to the video, this incident happened after a passenger complained about the cops not having tickets. When the TTE insisted on seeing a valid ticket, the defiant reaction of the cops raised a rumpus in the coach. The verbal argument soon escalated into threats and boasts about their ability to take revenge, treading up the revulsion at disregard for law and respect for others.
Reminder of Equal Accountability
The video shared by ‘Ghar Ke Kalesh’ on an ex handle is getting a lot of eyeballs and criticism. It simply encompasses “uniform’s arrogance,” wherein people in uniform misuse their power and show total disregard for laid-down rules to their personal advantage.
This incident serves as a harsh reminder that no person, whether in uniform or not, stands above the law. Indian Railways has strict laws and regulations against traveling without tickets, which extend to one and all—policemen and officials not excluded. This again brings home the fact that everyone should maintain legal standards and act as responsible citizens, regardless of one’s position or power.
