A police officer stationed in Delhi has been officially removed from his security duties related to the ongoing BRICS summit. The action was taken by senior department officials after it was discovered that the officer had been posting content to social media platforms that compromised security protocols.

According to reports, the officer shared videos featuring sensitive information, including footage of weapons and details regarding security arrangements. These posts gained significant traction online, prompting an internal review by the Delhi Police. Authorities determined that the officer’s behavior violated standard operating procedures regarding the handling of sensitive security information and the use of social media while on duty.

While the Hindustan Times reports that the officer was removed specifically due to the viral nature of the posts and the potential security risk they posed, the outlet does not specify the exact disciplinary measures beyond his removal from the summit detail. There is no mention of whether the officer faces further legal action or a formal departmental inquiry beyond the immediate reassignment. The incident highlights the growing tension between personal social media usage and the strict confidentiality requirements expected of law enforcement personnel during high-profile international events.
