SHO sent to police lines after pic with sadhvi massaging his head goes viral

New Delhi, July 23

An SHO was sent to district lines after a photograph of him in uniform seeking blessings from a self-styled godwoman went viral, police said today. 

In the photo, the SHO was seen wearing police uniform. It also showed him sitting on a chair and behind him was the sadhvi massaging his head.

While a few reports claimed the police official was getting his head massaged from the godwoman, the police said Singh was seeking blessings from her. 

Vijay Kumar, Deputy Commissioner of Police (west), said Singh has been sent to the district lines, adding that it was not proper for him to go there in uniform. 

A vigilance enquiry under additional deputy commissioner of police (West) has been ordered into the incident, an official said.
