Delhi cop removed from BRICS duty after weapons, security videos go viral
The video sparked criticism online, with viewers questioning the appropriateness of posting such footage during a high-security international event
A Delhi police constable, dressed in a BRICS summit 2026 identity card, is now under investigation after footage surfaced on social media showing him brandishing weapons and recording videos from his security posts. The individual had been posting about his firearms and security duties on Instagram for the past few days, prompting numerous users to flag the content online.
The video sparked widespread criticism, with netizens questioning the appropriateness of such footage being shared during a high-security international event. Upon receiving complaints, the police initiated a departmental inquiry into the matter and discovered that the constable is assigned to Delhi police's northwest district. It was revealed that the constable was stationed at a Bangladeshi cell, where officials conduct raids and gather information on illegally staying foreign citizens.
As a result of the controversy, the constable has been removed from the BRICS security arrangements and returned to his northwest district posting. Senior police officers confirmed that the constable was previously assigned to five-star hotels and other high-profile locations frequented by BRICS summit attendees. The incident comes amid heightened security measures in the national capital, as the third day of the 18th BRICS summit 2026 commenced at Bharat Mandapam.
