The police officer was heard saying, "Kalyanpura se 50-50 km ki duri par jab bachcha rotaa hai to maa kehti hai chup ho ja beta nahi to Dangi aa jayega. (When a child cries even as far as 50 km away from Kalyanpura, their mothers tell them to go to sleep or Dangi will come)."

After the video went viral, a show-cause notice was issued to the police officer. "A show-cause notice has been issued to him. Further action will be taken in the matter after a preliminary enquiry," Jhabua ASP Anand Singh told ANI.
