Udupi: Home guard suspended after selfies with girls go viral


Daijiworld Media Network – Udupi (EP)

Udupi, Mar 16: Sujith Shetty, Udupi home guard employed in Shirva police station has been suspended with immediate effect after selfies clicked by him with several girls went viral in social media.

Sujith Shetty faced widespread criticism on social media for his selfies with the girls. The home commandant, taking note of the incident, issued an order to suspend Sujith.

A resident of Manjarapalke, Belman in Karkala taluk, Sujith Shetty has been employed in Padubidri unit of home guards for the last one-and-a-half years. He was deployed in Shirva police station a few months ago. He initially started working on night shifts and was working on day shifts also from sometime.

His selfies with nearly eleven girls have gone viral in social networks. However, Shirva police said that no complaint has been received against him so far. He is likely to be questioned in Kaup police station.

"The suspension will be in force till details of the selfies in the social media are gathered and suitable investigations are held. Investigations will also be held later after obtaining information about him in Padubidri unit. Action will be taken against him if he is found guilty," said home guards Udupi district commandant Dr K Prakash Shetty.

    He might be influenced by Cynaid Praveen ... Girls should be careful about taking selfy from some un known people around them... Now a days girls move faster than boys in every field... but ... if slipped while stepping, no one will help you and life will be very miserable... This will lead to PUB culture and automatically drug mafia will enter in next stage.... Parents and elders should guide their children in this regard...

    If he clicks with uniform and on duty is wrong! Off duty without uniform is private life! Every one needs privacy and private life! So what if pictures are leaked?? If he forced girls for selfies is a crime! Pictures shows girls happy with the pictures. Why some one should suspect / link any activity beyond the selfie picture! We should avoid interfering in others personal life!

    Which law states that taking selfies with girls/women by any police officer/public servant is a crime?? Moreover no one has yet complained for any harassment/abuse...then why this fuss.. each one has his own right to have his personal life.. if these pics taken in police station during duty hours then definitely its wrong and action should be taken.

    During duty hours if he has been irresponsible with his work or shown any lackadaisical behavior towards his superiors then he can be taken to task. But after his duty hours is his personal
    ME time. I don't think anyone can reprimand or take any disciplinary action unless it is proven so. I have a feeling .. he will be let off. Moreover if the girls don't have any issues cuddling in his company, why should anyone have?

    Mr. Indian, am not sure how much of a photo enthusiast you are, or you know about photography. I happen to study photography, and if you ask someone how has studied photography, he will perhaps tell you that none of the photos seem to be taken with the wilful acceptance of the girls, which could suggest that he is misusing his authority. I fully agree, that his personal life is his, but definitely, coercing someone to be in his selfie is an abuse of his office and authority.

    This report about Home guard is best example why 'women' in Mangalore can't protected by law enforcement department.
    It is hard to believe not even one victim of 'pub attack' came forward in the court against attackers who are having threat to life.
    By looking at the pictures, I wonder how law enforcement candidates selection is done. Do the agency take the background check very seriously?
    Why there is no explanation from higher officer on this issue?

    SMR,

    You are comparing two extremes. In the Club attack, the goons did hit the women but in this, the man did not hit them, the girls willingly got them photographed with him. Who will file a case in the case of this man and the girls ? Home guards head ? Why would he, if the man did not violate his working principles ?

    In the Club attack the police had filed the case, not the victims. Victims were students whose future would be at stake if they go to court with the complain because then they may need to do unending number of visits to police station and the court (we see its 9 years by the time the verdict came) abandoning their studies and thus ending up unemployed.

    Well, unless some other side of story comes our tomorrow or later about these selfies.

    Respected Madam, To make long story short , here lawmaker is breaking the law. There are certain protocol for government servant to follow. It is written in their SOP.
    Pub attack is shame to Mangaloreans. Please read the FIR on this case before you script an argument.

    Everybody has personal life. A government servant can't go to bar spend thousands on the dancing girls and click the picture and post it on social media.

    Apparently, all selfies seem to be clicked by himself, with the consent of the girls. Why suspend him when there is no complaint of any type of abuse or molestation ? Somebody who got hold of his mobile (like Sami's wife) must have put the pics on public media. In none of the pics he is in uniform - meaning he did not misuse his duty discipline.

    Why suspend him without giving him a chance to explain ?
