The officer has been transferred to police lines.
In October last year, a similar incident had surfaced from New Delhi's Vivek Vihar Police Station, when a picture of self-styled god woman Radhe Maa, sitting on the chair of the SHO, went viral on social media.
The SHO, Sanjay Sharma, was seen standing beside her with his hands folded.
She had come to attend a Ramleela event and due to a heavy crowd, SHO Sharma had taken her to the police station.
