A Senior Superintendent of Police (SSP) in Jammu and Kashmir has reportedly directed an Assistant Sub-Inspector (ASI) to undergo a one-month rehabilitation programme at a de-addiction centre after he was allegedly found consuming alcohol while on duty.
The reported action highlights concerns over discipline, professional conduct and accountability within the police force. Consuming alcohol while performing official duties can compromise public safety, operational readiness and public confidence in law enforcement.
The decision to send the officer for rehabilitation also draws attention to the importance of addressing substance-related problems through counselling and treatment alongside appropriate departmental procedures.
Further details regarding the officer’s identity, the district involved and any additional disciplinary proceedings have not been independently verified.
