ARA----------------------------An audio clip has gone viral on social media in the Bihia area of ​​the district, causing a stir within administrative circles and among the general public. In this viral audio clip, a police officer (a sub-inspector) is allegedly heard using highly inappropriate and offensive language while speaking to another individual. While our news portal, *Khabrein Aapki*, cannot independently verify the authenticity of this audio, it has become a major topic of discussion within the Bihiya police station area.

According to reports, an individual referred to as "Pradhan" is mentioned repeatedly during the conversation. It is also being discussed that this person is the son of a former *chowkidar* (village watchman) and is allegedly linked to the illegal liquor trade. However, the veracity of these claims and allegations remains a matter for investigation, and there has been no official confirmation.

If there are complaints regarding an individual’s involvement in illegal activities, the law of the land and the established procedures of the police department provide the appropriate framework for addressing them. Legal action is the only proper path to justice.

Furthermore, it is expected that a police officer—who holds a position of responsibility—will exercise restraint, patience, and decorum while performing their duties. The authority vested in the uniform is meant for upholding the rule of law, not for engaging in verbal abuse. If the allegations made in the viral audio are substantiated and the voice is indeed identified as belonging to the officer in question, it would constitute a case of departmental indiscipline.

When contacted regarding this matter, the Station House Officer (SHO) of Bihiya stated that the issue had not yet been brought to his attention. He assured that if any such incident or conduct is proven to be true, strict action will be taken against the individual concerned, in accordance with the law.

For now, this viral audio remains a subject of intense discussion in the area. The authenticity of the recording, the identity of the person speaking, and the actual facts behind the incident have yet to be officially confirmed.
