According to officials, the policemen were posted at the district hospital to guard an undertrial prisoner who had been admitted there on March 28. The team was led by Assistant Sub-Inspector Narmada Prasad Prajapati and included constables Udayraj Singh, Jitendra Singh and Manish Tiwari.
After the video surfaced, senior officials of the Madhya Pradesh Police ordered an internal inquiry. During the investigation, it was found that the policemen were heavily drunk at the time of the incident. The inquiry confirmed that the misconduct happened under the influence of alcohol. The probe also noted that there was a lack of proper supervision by the officer in charge during the duty.
Following the inquiry, the Sidhi police administration suspended all four policemen for serious indiscipline, negligence of duty and for damaging the reputation of the police force. Officials said such behaviour by on-duty personnel is unacceptable, especially in a public place like a hospital.
During the suspension period, the policemen have been attached to the reserve centre in Sidhi. They have also been directed to follow all departmental procedures while the matter continues to be examined by the department.
