“Insta Queen” Amandeep Kaur<\/strong><\/p>\n

The police constable, who goes by the name “police_kaurdeep” on social media, regularly posts reels featuring her Thar. In most of the videos, Ms Kaur can be seen in her uniform, humming popular Punjabi songs while wearing big shades and a fancy watch. She can also be seen carrying an expensive iPhone. Ms Kaur has over 37,000 followers on Instagram.<\/p>\n

An order by the state Director General of Police (DGP) directs officers to refrain from posting content that shows them “modelling in uniform”.<\/p>\n

Ms Kaur has posted videos featuring Sidhu Moosewala’s songs, calling for justice for the singer who was shot dead.<\/p>\n

Controversy<\/strong><\/p>\n

A woman named Gurmeet Kaur has questioned Ms Kaur’s flamboyant lifestyle, alleging she owns a house worth Rs 2 crore, a couple of cars and a watch worth a lakh. In a video on Facebook, Gurmeet Kaur claimed that Amandeep Kaur was in a live-in relationship with her husband, Balwinder Singh, an ambulance driver.<\/p>\n

Ms Kaur and Mr Singh would use the ambulance to sell heroin, alleged Gurmeet Kaur, adding that she did inform the Police about it, but no action was taken.<\/p>\n

The police are investigating where Ms Kaur got the drugs from and where she was taking them.<\/p>\n
