KL Dangi is in charge of the Kalyanpura Police Station in Jhabua District.
An iconic dialogue from the Bollywood movie “Sholay” has led a police officer to Madhya Pradesh in trouble. An apparent cause notice was delivered to the police office and was caught on camera shouting the dialogue loudly over a loudspeaker while on patrol in Jhabua district, some 300 km from the state capital, Bhopal.
KL Dangi, the police officer seen in the clip that has been widely shared on social media, is the manager of the Kalyanpura Police Station in the Jhabua district of Madhya Pradesh.
In the 15 second video, Mr. Dangi is seen saying an altered version of the popular “So ha beta nahi to Gabbar aa jayega” (Sleep my son, or Gabbar will come) Dialogue from a megaphone mounted on his police jeep.
“Kalyanpura se 50-50 km ki duri par jab bachcha rotaa hai a maa kehti hai chup ho ja beta nahi a Dangi aa jayega. (When a child cries even 50 km from Kalyanpura, their mothers tell them to go to sleep or Dangi will come), “the policeman was heard saying.
