Cops making TikTok on duty suspended

Two police constables, including a female official, faced suspension in the South Zone for creating TikTok videos while on duty. The videos went viral on social media, prompting police officers to take action.

According to South Zone Police, DIG South Syed Asad Raza took notice of the viral video and ordered the suspension of the female constable, Maria Gil, who was stationed at the Gizri police station. He also demanded a report from her regarding the incident.

In the TikTok video, the suspended female officer disclosed her duty location, saying, "guys I am here, whoever wants to meet me can come here." DIG South emphasized that the police department is a professional institution, and such irresponsible behaviour is not tolerated.

Similarly, SSP City Arif Aziz took strict notice of a TikTok video from the Baghdadi police station, showing Constable Zeeshan displaying firearms.

The SSP ordered the officer's suspension and instructed him to report to his office. SSP Aziz stated that the constable had recorded the video in 2022, but it was uploaded on TikTok in 2023.

He further clarified that no police officer is permitted to misuse or display firearms in such a manner.

A zero-tolerance policy will be enforced against any officer engaging in such actions, and they will face strict departmental consequences. The SSP also mentioned that this directive applies to all officers and personnel who upload videos in official uniforms or with government-issued weapons.
