Mumbai Police Sub-Inspector Caught on Camera Throwing Nameplate During Heated Clash – Public Outrage Ensues

Mumbai: A video from VP Road police station in Girgaon, Mumbai, has gone viral, igniting public outrage and raising serious questions about the conduct of Mumbai Police.

The footage, recorded on September 18, 2025, shows Sub-Inspector Durga Kharde in a heated confrontation with a man and woman who approached the station to recover pending payments from an event management firm. Initially, police intervention secured the dues, and the complainants left the station.

The couple later returned, demanding that an FIR be filed against the firm for pending payments to other freelancers. Officers advised that the matter was civil and should be pursued in court. Tensions escalated as Kharde, handling another case, reportedly became frustrated with their loud voices and the video recording. In a shocking moment captured on camera, she removed her nameplate and threw it toward the complainants, prompting widespread criticism.

Following a complaint by the event management company, the police registered a case against the couple for allegedly trespassing into the firm’s office.

The Mumbai Police have confirmed that a formal inquiry has been ordered, with the Assistant Commissioner of Police, Girgaon Division, tasked to investigate the sequence of events and Kharde’s conduct. The incident has reignited debate over accountability and public trust in the city’s police force.
