The Supreme Court today refused to entertain a plea of a Delhi Police head constable seeking compensation for his "wrong" portrayal in a video that went viral on social media last year showing him swaying and collapsing in a metro coach in an alleged drunken state.


A bench of Justices J S Khehar and C Nagappan said nobody was guilty as neither the video was doctored, nor had the media circulated it with some ulterior motive.


"What can be done when nobody committed any wrong. You have already come back on duty," the bench said, adding that there was no violation of any fundamental right of Salim P K. The video titled as 'Drunk Delhi Police man on Delhi metro '" Funny' was posted on Facebook by a user which showed Salim struggling to hold on to a pole while swinging back and forth inside the moving metro coach. Salim, who has re-joined the force, had said he was not drunk but at that time was losing consciousness because of a major blockage in his brain while travelling home from duty.
