Lucknow: Priyanka Mishra, a constable with the Agra police, who was sent to lines after she posted her video on Instagram, flashing a revolver in uniform, has resigned from her job.
She told reporters that she was being heavily trolled after her video was posted and she was extremely upset with it.
“If people are so angry with me, I would prefer to quit my job,” she told reporters.
Her resignation, sent to Senior Superintendent of Police (SSP) Muniraj G., has not yet been accepted.
Constable Priyanka Mishra had apparently shot the video inside a police station and posted it on social media.

The speaker seeks to compare the state’s perceived notoriety with that of Punjab and Haryana, before suggesting that children as young as five years old have access to guns in the state.
