Saran police suspended Maker station house officer Sangram Kumar Singh on October 4 after a video purportedly showing him pointing a pistol towards flood-affected residents during relief distribution circulated online. United News of India reported that a copy of the suspension order was circulated to the media that night. PTI separately reported the action, citing a statement issued on Sunday.
The senior superintendent of police’s office treated the alleged conduct as a preliminary indication of serious neglect of duty and indiscipline. The order took immediate effect and provided for subsistence allowance during suspension. These are disciplinary steps; the reviewed reports do not establish a final finding about the entire confrontation.
FirstBihar’s account also dates the order to October 4 and reports directions to examine the video. Patna Press says a dispute arose while people were collecting relief supplies, but notes that the circumstances leading to it have not been independently established. This report does not treat circulating footage as proof of every allegation or assign blame to residents.
The sources reviewed do not include Singh’s response or a completed inquiry report. The fresh development is the suspension and the dated official account of it, rather than a new claim about the wider flood emergency.
