In a swift and significant move, Solan police have suspended four personnel following a viral video allegedly depicting them loading cases of liquor into a police escort vehicle assigned to the Chief Minister's convoy during his Chandigarh visit.
The footage, taken by a bystander, has fueled public outrage over the apparent misuse of official resources. Solan's Superintendent of Police, Gaurav Singh, confirmed the suspensions are pending detailed investigation.
