Vadodara, May 22: A day after a video of two policemen clad in uniform dancing with a woman at a wedding function went viral, Vadodara Police Commissioner on Friday ordered an inquiry into the incident.

City police commissioner E Radhakrishana has ordered an inquiry against the two policemen, posted at city's Kishanvadi police station.

According to Patel, the two policemen are currently posted at Kishanvadi police station but their names have not revealed so far. Police commissioner Radhakrishanan also confirmed the incident and said an inquiry has been ordered into the matter, which took place around 10 days ago.

In the 2.12 minutes video, the two policemen were first seen holding hand of a woman, attired in a black glittery outfit while an old Hindi film song was heard in the background.

One of the cops was then seen dancing to the song with the woman while the other was seen showing currency notes on the woman.

Later they both started showering notes on her. The video surfaced last night and was shared on mobile messaging app and other social media websites.

Some people at the event were seen recording the act on their cell-phones. According to sources, the incident occurred in Ajwa road area in the city during marriage of a policeman's daughter.

Police said that they will take appropriate action against the erring policemen after completion of the enquiry.

Dancing in uniform, indicate that the cops were on duty and it surely amounts to an act of indiscipline, police said.
