Overview
- Faridkot police, which acted Wednesday after a clip spread online, suspended ASI Sarabjit Kaur who is posted at a women's helpdesk at the Sadar station.
- The video showed the girl bound to the home’s main gate and crying, and neighbours who heard her pleas intervened and freed her after recording the scene.
- Investigators ordered a departmental probe and sent the case to the Child Welfare Committee, a statutory panel that determines interim care and protection in child abuse cases.
- Police said the child’s parents live in Portugal and had left her with her grandmother, while local reports noted the officer’s husband has been unwell.
- Officials said the child was rescued and welfare steps are underway, and one outlet noted it could not independently verify the video beyond police and resident accounts.
