In Uttar Pradesh, a Sub-Inspector allegedly committed the very act that the UP Police—the world’s largest police force—exists to prevent: theft. A truck driver in Hamirpur district has accused Sub-Inspector Girish Mishra of stealing ₹20,000.
Initially, out of respect for the uniform, the truck driver gave the accused Sub-Inspector a lift from Kanpur to Hamirpur. Later, allegedly bringing disrepute to that very uniform, the Sub-Inspector stole the truck driver’s money. In a video, ₹500 notes were seen falling onto the ground from the Sub-Inspector’s uniform.

Mahesh alleged that en route, the Sub-Inspector stole ₹20,000 kept in the truck and hid the cash inside his uniform before attempting to leave the vehicle. The driver further recounted:
“When we stopped the vehicle, he [the Sub-Inspector] jumped out and tried to flee. I shouted loudly, asking where he was taking my money. An Omni van was approaching; he signaled it to stop, got in, and fled. I chased him. He got out after crossing the Yamuna River and was walking back when I caught him there…”
Mahesh claimed that the Sub-Inspector had stolen his ₹20,000.
