Bengaluru: Karnataka DG & IGP Praveen Sood has directed police officers not to allow any private functions at the station or invite members of the public for a send-off or other programmes held at stations.
The decision was taken after incidents of police officers participating in parties with antisocial elements and the videos of birthday parties going viral on social media.
In a circular issued with this regard, Sood has said that police officers should maintain discipline and decorum while attending any programme.
“A police officer has the responsibility of crime prevention and maintaining law and order in the society and his action and behaviour in uniform is a reflection of the entire department and the society,” he added.
The circular was issued after Hosakote PSI, C.M. Raju, celebrating his birthday and promotion at the station on June 2 with his friend and the staff, while COVID-19 guidelines were in force was later circulated on social media and drew huge criticism against the police.
