“Karnataka Female SI in Viral Video Call with Prisoner Sparks Assembly Debate”

Rewritten Article (in English)

Bengaluru – A video that shows a female sub‑inspector (SI) of Karnataka’s police allegedly engaging in a video call with an inmate at a central jail has recently gone viral, prompting debate in the state legislature and scrutiny from political opposition.

The clip, which surfaced online a year ago, appears to show the SI in a partially undressed state while speaking with a prisoner on a WhatsApp call. The footage was reportedly shared by the inmate and other recipients, rapidly gaining attention across social media. In the call, the SI is seen first in uniform, then removing her jacket and appearing partially naked.

The incident has triggered calls for accountability. Opposition parties in the Karnataka Assembly criticized the ruling coalition, accusing the police of misconduct and calling for an inquiry. On Monday, during a session in the legislative house, Home Minister Priyanka Kharge responded to the controversy. She stated that the video had already circulated a year earlier and that, following the incident, the police department had issued a notice to the officer involved and transferred her to another post.

When pressed on the matter, the SI herself clarified that she had not intended to support or endorse the video. She expressed distress at the negative impact on her reputation and the police department’s public image, stressing that her conduct was “not in line with the values of law enforcement.” She also mentioned that she had filed a formal complaint at the Kabbanna Park police station in Bengaluru after the video surfaced.

While the video has brought the issue of police conduct and professionalism into public focus, it also highlights broader concerns about privacy, accountability, and the ethical responsibilities of law‑enforcement officers. The Karnataka government has yet to announce a formal investigation, but the matter remains a subject of heated discussion in the state’s political arena.

The above summary is based on the publicly available report and statements issued by the parties involved.
