The officer is under scrutiny after a video surfaced online, capturing him engaged in an impromptu dance session with a young woman inside a second-class ladies coach of a Central Railway local train. The incident occurred on the evening of December 6, between 10:00 p.m. and 10:15 p.m., while Gupta was on duty as a home guard responsible for ensuring the safety of women during nighttime travel.
The viral video initially shows Gupta giving instructions to the woman, who was recording a dance reel. Subsequently, he joined in, dancing with her to the rhythm of the music.
