‘Aao Kabhi Uttar Pradesh’ Agra Constable Flashes Gun In Instagram Video, Gets In Big Trouble
Agra Constable Priyanka Mishra has gotten herself in a ton of trouble with the police force after sharing a video of herself flashing a revolver on screen for an Instagram video that went viral.
According to the video, Mishra seemingly shot the video inside a police station, while in her uniform and lip-syncing to a male voice in Hindi while complimenting the violent gun-culture in the state of Uttar Pradesh.

“Haryana, Punjab toh bekaar hi badnaam hai. Aao kabhi Uttar Pradesh. Rangbaazi kya hoti hai hum tumhe batate hain… naa gunday pe gaana banaate hain, naa gaadi pe Jat-Gujjar likhaate hain. Humare yahaan 5-5 saal ke launde katta chalaate hain (Haryana and Punjab unnecessarily have a bad name… Come to Uttar Pradesh. Neither do we glorify crime with songs, nor do we display our caste on our cars. In UP, kids as young as five know how to use guns),” here’s what the constable lip-synced in the video while taking out the gun from her belt and winking at the camera.
Mishta was posted at Agra’s MM Gate police station.
“Her behaviour has violated the code of conduct followed by us. We took cognisance when the video came to our notice three days ago. She has been sent to police lines till we have the inquiry report. Departmental action will be taken against her after we have the report,” Agra Senior Superintendent of Police (SSP) Muniraj G said according to a report by ThePrint.
According to the report, the video was shot in the police station’s storeroom and the revolver used came from the stock present there. Mishra had first shared the video from her Instagram account but later deleted it.
However, as the video went viral, more and more copies of the video have appeared on YouTube, Twitter, and other video platforms, reinforcing the fact that once something is posted on the internet, it is never truly deleted.
Priyanka Mishra’s Instagram account is also flooded with videos and pictures of her posing in the police uniform. There’s another video wherein she lip-syncs to the same dialogue but without the gun.
