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.
