Action against cop for uploading `obscene' pics on WhatsApp

A police officer was removed from `field duty' today after he allegedly uploaded some obscene pictures in a WhatsApp group.

Narsinghpur superintendent of police Mukesh Shrivastava said the action was taken against S L Jharia, a local police station in-charge, after a complaint was received.

"One Bablu, administrator of the WhatsApp group, had made a complaint a couple of days ago that Jharia posted obscene pictures in the group. Jharia was removed from field duty following the complaint," Shrivastava said.

Sub-divisional officer of police Naresh Sharma has been asked to conduct further inquiry, he added.
