Officer shunted out as cops dance to the tunes of Radhe Maa
new delhi — Delhi Police said on Thursday it was probing how self-styled Sadhvi Radhe Maa sat on the chair of a SHO in an east Delhi police station and added that the officer had been shunted out.
A separate investigation has also been ordered into a video clipping that shows several police officials in uniform singing along with the controversial sadhvi who is seen dancing, a police officer added.
Deputy Commissioner of Police Nupur Prasad said that an inquiry had been ordered into the “unprofessional conduct” of Station House Officer Sanjay Sharma of Vivek Vihar police station.
Prasad said the SHO had been told to report to the district Police Lines till the inquiry got over.
“An inquiry has been initiated against the SHO and five police personnel and they have been sent to district lines,” Joint Commissioner of Police, Eastern Range, Ravindra Yadav said.
Prasad said the photograph of Radhe Maa, reportedly taken on September 28, also showed a police officer with folded hands standing next to her.
Later in the day, Delhi Police chief spokesperson Dependra Pathak said the “unprofessional conduct” of four to five police officials of another police station had also come to light. He was referring to the video of the police officials singing alongside Radhe Maa.
The video was posted on October 3 on the official Facebook page of Radhe Maa, “Param Shradhey Shri Radhe Maa”, which has more than 500,000 followers. Pathak said the Additional Deputy Commissioner of Police at Shahdara will probe both the incidents.
Speaking on the condition of anonymity, an official said the SHO had claimed that Radhe Maa was on her way to a Ram Lila function and had stopped at the police station to use its washroom.
Sukhwinder Kaur alias Radhe Maa, who has attracted eyeballs for her glitzy pictures on social media, is at the centre of several controversies.
Earlier this year, a Mumbaibased woman had approached the Bombay High Court allegeding that Kaur instigated her in- laws to harass her for dowry. In 2015, a BJP MLA from Gujarat had demanded a probe against Radhe Maa in connection with a case where seven members of a family committed suicide.—
