A video from Sawai Madhopur shows police giving special breakfast treatment to Sadam Bihari, a hardcore criminal with a Rs 25,000 bounty, while he is in police custody, sparking criticism of the Kunderra police station's conduct.
Sawai Madhopur police released a video that appears to show a detainee, identified as Sadam Bihari, being offered a breakfast that resembles a VIP arrangement while under police custody. Bihari is listed as a hardcore criminal with a bounty of Rs 25,000, and the footage has drawn attention to the handling procedures at the Kunderra police station.
The clip, originally circulated on social media, depicts officers presenting the suspect with a plate of food and a drink, actions that are typically reserved for high-profile or privileged individuals. Local residents and legal observers have raised concerns that such treatment could undermine the principle of equal treatment under the law and may set a precedent for preferential handling of certain detainees.
Authorities have not issued an official statement regarding the incident, but the video has prompted calls for an internal review of police conduct in the region. If confirmed, the incident could lead to disciplinary action against the involved officers and reinforce guidelines to prevent any perception of bias in police custodial practices.
