Multiple Police Suspensions Spark Accountability Debate

Several police constables across India have recently been suspended for various acts of misconduct, including altercations, dereliction of duty, and misuse of their positions. In Punjab, a constable was suspended after a video of him arguing with SWAT personnel went viral. In Indore, a female constable was suspended for promoting a coaching institute in her uniform. In Anjuna, a constable was suspended for refusing to provide a police escort to an IAS officer and allowing local clubs to play loud music. Additionally, a Mysuru head constable, previously suspended for alleged connections with accused individuals, controversially received a Chief Minister's medal for his past achievements. These incidents have sparked discussions about accountability and the integrity of the award selection process within Indian police departments.
