A Madhya Pradesh Police constable has been suspended for refusing to cut his long moustache and hair.
Constable Rakesh Rana, posted as a driver in the police's motor transport wing, was instructed to shave his moustache in proper shape but he didn't follow the instruction, therefore he was being suspended with immediate effect, read the suspension order.
The order also said that Mr Rana has grown his moustache in an "absurd" manner that looks "ugly". It also leaves a wrong impression on other employees of the department.
Calling it a matter of "self-respect", Mr Rana said that, "I am a Rajput and my moustache is my pride," and added that he won't shave his moustache.
