Bhushan is seen in a video clip along with four-five other officers in uniform singing with the controversial godwoman, who is also dancing. “It was found that it is a matter of professional misconduct. Thus the SHO and ASI are suspended with immediate effect. Further action will be taken after a detailed inquiry,” Prasad said. Prasad said the SHO had been told to report to the district Police Lines till the inquiry got over. Prasad said the photograph of Radhe Maa, reportedly taken on 28 September, also showed a police officer with folded hands standing next to her. Later in the day, Delhi Police chief spokesperson Dependra Pathak said the “unprofessional conduct” of four to five police officials of another police station had also come to light. He was referring to the video of the police officials singing alongside Radhe Maa. The video was posted on 3 October on the official Facebook page of Radhe Maa, “Param Shradhey Shri Radhe Maa”, which has more than 5 lakh followers. Pathak said the Additional Deputy Commissioner of Police at Shahdara will probe both the incidents. According to an aide of Radhe Maa, she sat in the chair without realising it was the SHO’s and got up after an officer asked her to vacate it.
