Three constables posted in Lahore have been dismissed for creating and posting a TikTok video while on duty inside a police station.

 

The video showed the constables performing humorous skits, with a clerk mimicking an officer while sitting at his desk. 

 

Constables Shahid, Bilal, and Usman participated in the video, which later went viral on social media.

 

Senior officers noticed the video and took immediate action. Following an inquiry, SP Model Town, Shahr Bano Naqvi, ordered the dismissal of all three constables.

 

Similar cases have occurred in other parts of Pakistan. In 2025, authorities banned all police officers from using TikTok or any social media platforms to post personal videos while in uniform or on duty. 

 

This followed a viral video scandal involving a female police constable who complained that a colleague had posted a video of her without consent during training. 

 

Islamabad Police also suspended two officers, Aftab Ahmed and Ehtesham Aslam. They faced allegations of misconduct and violating social media rules and were instructed to report to Rescue 15.

 

In 2024, a Karachi Police officer faced suspension after appearing in a viral TikTok video. 

 

Police officials said that making videos in uniform not only breaches service discipline but also raises questions about the credibility of the institution.
