Bihar: No jewellery & make-up during duty hours, women cops livid over diktat
The directive, issued by the office of ADG (law and order) Pankaj Darad, comes after videos and photos surfaced on social media showing women police personnel making reels while wearing jewellery and heavy make-up items during duty hours. The police headquarters has classified use of make-up items and wearing the uniform in an improper way while on duty, as a violation of service rules.
Moreover, making reels and displaying weapons for social media, excessive use of Bluetooth devices for music or personal calls while on duty have also been listed as violations, as such activities distract personnel from their duties.

Attending virtual court proceedings from toilet costs Gujarat man ₹1 lakh. Here's what happened
The Gujarat High Court on Monday imposed a fine of ₹ 1 lakh on a man who attended virtual proceedings from a toilet seat while relieving himself on live video streaming, reported Bar and Bench. The court also said it is considering sending the person concerned, named Samad Abdul Rehman Shah, to jail as his conduct was contumacious. "The contemnor has admitted about his conduct during the live-streaming proceedings. Thus, at this stage, we direct the contemnor to deposit ₹ 1 lakh before the registry of this court before the next date of hearing," said a Division Bench of Justices AS Supehia and RT Vachhani. The High Court also noted that despite its order, the HC Registrar (Information & Technology) has not filed a reply and no steps have been suggested about how such incidents can be stopped. The counsel appearing for the Registrar told the Division Bench that he would assist the court on the next hearing date. The case has been listed for the next hearing on July 22.
