Pune: Pimpri Chinchwad Cops Suspended for Hosting Birthday Party in the Middle of the Street
An incident involving a street birthday celebration in Pimpri Chinchwad has resulted in disciplinary action for several police officials. The celebration, which apparently violated regulations, led to the suspension of some officers and the transfer of others. One notable consequence was the reassignment of a police inspector.
A recent birthday celebration for police constable Praveen Patil, held outside the Sangvi Police Station, has garnered significant attention. The event, which took place a few days ago, was a large gathering that included fellow constables Vivek Gaikwad, Suhas Dongare, and Vijay More. A video of the celebration has gone viral, bringing the incident to the public’s notice.
The Maharashtra Police has a strict policy against public celebrations, often taking action against civilians who engage in activities like cake-cutting in public spaces. However, this recent incident involved police personnel themselves. Commissioner of Police Vinoy Kumar Choubey responded swiftly, ordering the immediate suspension of all constables present at the birthday celebration.
To further address the situation, Senior Police Inspector Mahesh Bansode has been transferred to the Control Room. This transfer is directly linked to the birthday celebration incident. The decisive actions taken against both the constables and Senior Inspector Bansode demonstrate the Maharashtra Police’s unwavering stance against public celebrations, even when their own personnel are involved.
