A constable of the Delhi Police, identified by a BRICS Summit 2026 identity card, was placed under suspension after a social‑media video surfaced showing him handling a firearm while filming an Instagram reel. Senior officials confirmed the action and said a departmental inquiry has been launched to investigate the incident.
The officer, posted in the Northwest district, was reportedly assigned as a sniper on the terrace of a five‑star hotel in Central Delhi during the summit. The video, which went viral on Sunday, prompted immediate disciplinary measures, and police are probing when and where the reel was recorded, as well as whether the constable was on duty at the time.
The episode emerged amid heightened security arrangements for the high‑profile BRICS Summit, with both local and district police units operating under the Delhi Police security unit. Public concern on social platforms has focused on the handling of weapons by law‑enforcement personnel, and officials have emphasized that further action will depend on the inquiry’s findings.
