In Jammu and Kashmir's Poonch district, a traffic police sub-inspector has been suspended after allegedly misusing his official vehicle for a viral video. Captured on the snow-laden Mughal Road, the video shows Sub-Inspector Gul Sheraz precariously leaning out of a moving vehicle, raising serious safety concerns.

The incident has attracted widespread criticism about the professional conduct of traffic police under hazardous conditions. Promptly, ASI Anil Kumar has been appointed as the new sector officer on the Mughal Road, and Sheraz has been ordered to report to the Traffic Police Lines in Rural Jammu.
