The viral video, which lasts for 16 seconds, depicts a room where three private individuals are seen engaged in a fight with two to three others. While some individuals attempt to intervene and stop the altercation, others are seen instigating the violence.
The police have posted the viral video on social media platforms, which depicts a brawl among several individuals in a room in Nadiad district. The Kheda police have shared this video on social media, stating that it shows an incident of violence among individuals within the district. The video captures a confrontation among several people, with three police inspectors identified among them. The disciplined police department has taken immediate action and suspended the aforementioned three police inspectors pending further investigation. The identities of these inspectors include the Police Inspector of Nadiad Town, Nadiad West, and Vadatal. The immediate suspension of these inspectors has been implemented due to their involvement in the incident captured in the viral video. The Deputy Police Superintendent of the Nadiad Division has been assigned the primary investigation responsibilities based on the viral video.

According to the available information, on February 14th, the Kheda district police transferred Harpalsinh Chauhan, the Police Inspector of Nadiad Town, and Vaibhav Parmar, the Police Inspector of Nadiad West, to reserve duty. At that time, the sudden transfer of both officers to reserve duty raised significant discussions, but now the root cause behind these transfers has come to light.

The Kheda district police have assigned three police officers, including Deputy Police Superintendent Vimal Bajpai, to conduct a thorough investigation into the entire matter and take disciplinary actions against the individuals involved. The investigation has been ordered to be conducted promptly, and necessary legal actions will be taken after the completion of the inquiry.
