Jalandhar Division Number 4 SHO Ashok Kumar Sharma was suspended and sent to lines after an Instagram influencer made a reel on a Police vehicle in front of him. The Instagram influencer danced while sitting on the bonnet of the Police vehicle which was used by Jalandhar Division Number 4 SHO Ashok Kumar Sharma. Not only this but the influencer was seen flashing her middle finger in the video in front of the Police officer. Notably, when the video was shared by the Instagram influencer on social media it became viral for wrong reasons. The people of Punjab slammed the cop for not taking any legal action against the girl who made a reel on his car in front of him. After a social media uproar, Jalandhar Police Commissioner Kuldeep Chahal suspended SHO Ashok Sharma for letting the girl use the official vehicle for making social media reels. Now, the question arises who is the Instagram influencer involved in the Jalandhar SHO suspension controversy and what did she say about the incident?
Who is the Instagram Influencer in the Jalandhar SHO Reel controversy?
The answer is Payal Param. Payal reportedly issued a video of her opening up about the incident and explaining why she made a reel on a Police vehicle. Addressing her followers on social media, Payal said, "It is wrong. I uploaded it casually. But, people took it the wrong way." Talking about the incident Payal Param said, "I was celebrating one of my friend's birthday. Sir (Ashok Kumar Sharma) also attended the party. The vehicle belonged to him. We were sitting normally then I said let's make a video. After that, I uploaded it on my social media handle. I just uploaded it normally but people took it the wrong way."
