Salman Khan, who’s adored by his army of fans for portraying the dashing & dynamic police officer in franchises such as Dabangg and Wanted, recently received a reality check.

While making his way through to the Terminal 3 of the Mumbai International Airport, the on-screen police officer was stopped by a CISF (Central Industrial Security Force) officer who asked him to first present his documents.

The entire ordeal was recorded in a video and reiterated the idea that even the biggest of celebrities are not above and beyond law.

Rumours Turn into Fake News

However, ETimes reported that the CISF officer was penalized by the security force for doing his job. Although it didn’t cite a source, the ETimes report claimed that the security force has taken away his phone for speaking to a media organization of Odisha.

As reported by the Bollywood daily, the officer’s phone was taken away as he breached the protocol of speaking to a third party. The seizure of the phone also makes sure that he doesn’t, in future, talk to media groups.

Not only ETimes but New Indian Express, India.com and other news platforms also shared the news without confirmation.

Quashing all such rumours, CISF itself took to Twitter recently to confirm that not only was the officer not dismissed for doing his job, but he was appropriately rewarded. Replying to a Twitter user, the official handle of CISF wrote, “The contents of this tweet are incorrect & without factual basis. In fact, the officer concerned has been suitably rewarded for exemplary professionalism in the discharge of his duty.”

In the original video, that went viral and was first shared by popular paparazzi Viral Bhayani, the Dabangg actor can be seen making his way to the airport.

Surrounded by a slew of body guards blocking fans and media personnel, Salman casually tries getting inside the main gate of the Terminal 3. As he’s about to enter, a CISF officer stops him and asks him to get his documents verified to enter the terminal.

As Salman’s entourage swings into action, photographers and fans start yelling out Salman’s name. They ask him to give them a pose for photograph.

The officer in question once again takes charge of the situation and asks photographers to step back.
