The incident came to light after a bystander captured a video of the policemen in uniform handling boxes suspected to be liquor cartons and loading them into a marked police vehicle. The footage quickly spread on social media, sparking outrage and raising serious questions about the misuse of official machinery.

"We have suspended four personnel based on the contents of the video, which is currently under detailed inquiry. One of the suspended individuals is of sub-inspector rank, while the other three are constables," said Singh.
