  "account": "A Delhi Police constable, identified as Deepak Bangar, was suspended after posting videos on Instagram displaying firearms and a sniper rifle during the recent BRICS Summit in Delhi. Bangar, who was on duty for the summit, had been sharing such videos on his Instagram account, @jaat.bangar.0143, for several days. This action drew criticism from social media users. One video showed Bangar in civilian clothes, wearing his BRICS Summit 2026 ID card and holding a service pistol. Another video demonstrated him using the scope of a sniper rifle from a terrace, with VVIP structures visible in the background. The footage led to a departmental inquiry and his immediate suspension from BRICS duties. Bangar was subsequently reassigned to the northwest district. The police are conducting an investigation into the circumstances surrounding the recording and posting of the videos. Additionally, the Mumbai Police recovered a South African BRICS delegate's bag containing ₹3 lakh in cash from a cab within 35 minutes of receiving information about its theft. The delegate had lost the bag at a mall in Gurugram before returning to a hotel in central Delhi.",
  "summary": "The footage sparked a debate on social media, with users questioning why such videos were recorded and shared while Bangar was assigned to a sensitive security operation.",
