A Humble Officer’s Act During Public Darbar in Jehanabad Goes Viral, Inspires Public Trust
Indian Masterminds Stories

Jehanabad, Bihar: In a time when the police force in Bihar is facing public criticism over a spate of crimes, a moment of rare humility and compassion by Jehanabad SP Vineet Kumar has become a viral symbol of people-first policing.

The image, now shared widely across social media platforms, shows the Superintendent of Police (SP) sitting on his knees before an elderly man who had come to his office with a complaint. What followed was an equally touching gesture — the old man sat on the ground in respect, moved by the officer’s humility.

Viral Photo from Public Darbar: A Different Face of Policing

The incident occurred on Saturday, July 19, during a public darbar held by SP Vineet Kumar at the district headquarters. The officer was hearing grievances from local residents when an elderly man entered with his issue.

Rather than summoning him to a desk or keeping him waiting, SP Vineet Kumar stood up, walked over to the man, and sat down on his knees to listen carefully and respectfully. The Jehanabad police shared the now-viral photograph on their official X (formerly Twitter) handle, captioning it simply but powerfully — a reflection of public service with dignity and empathy.

“This Is True Service”: Public, Civil Society Laud SP’s Gesture

Citizens across Bihar and beyond have praised SP Vineet Kumar’s conduct. Educationist and Red Cross Secretary Raj Kishore Sharma called the act “an inspiring example of how officers should treat people — with humility and sensitivity.”

“This shows not just respect for the elderly, but a deep commitment to understanding public concerns,” Sharma said.

Locals now view SP Vineet Kumar as a people-centric officer, bringing a fresh wave of public confidence in police administration in Jehanabad.

A Public-Facing, Reform-Driven IPS Officer

Since taking charge in Jehanabad just weeks ago, SP Vineet Kumar has introduced several people-friendly initiatives:

  • Public darbar every day from 10 AM to 1 PM.
  • Open chamber policy — anyone can walk in without appointments or recommendations.
  • Night patrol supervision by the SP himself.

Prompt grievance redressal through direct interaction.

Residents say this is the first time in years they’ve felt so connected to the police force, with many acknowledging that Vineet Kumar’s leadership is bridging the trust gap between law enforcement and the public.

Who Is Vineet Kumar? The Man Behind the Uniform

  • Hometown: Madhubani, Bihar
  • Education: Graduate from Hindu College, Delhi University; also holds a master’s degree
  • UPSC Journey: Cracked the civil services exam in his second attempt
  • Previous Posting: Special Branch, Patna
  • Current Role: SP, Jehanabad (his seventh official posting)

IPS Vineet Kumar is known not only for his dedication to duty but also for being a lifelong learner. He still engages actively in academic discussions and encourages officers and aspirants alike to reflect, learn, and improve.

Lessons in Leadership: Humility Goes a Long Way

While high-ranking officers are often seen as distant and formal, SP Vineet Kumar’s simple act of sitting on the ground has become a powerful metaphor for accessible governance. It’s not just a PR moment; it’s a statement of intent — that in a democracy, authority must bow to service.
