Jhabua, Nov 16: In-charge of Kalyanpura police station in Jhabua district in Madhya Pradesh, K L Dangi has got himself into trouble after citing a famous dialogue from the iconic movie 'Sholay'.

The police received a show-cause notice after being caught on camera shouting out the dialogue loud on a speaker while patrolling in Jhabua district, about 300 km from the state capital Bhopal.

K L Dangi, the police officer who was seen in the clip that has been widely shared on social media, is the in-charge of Kalyanpura police station in Jhabua district of Madhya Pradesh.

Dangi is seen saying an altered version of the popular 'So ja 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 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),” the cop was heard as saying.

The dialogue was originally orated in the 1975 hit Bollywood flick Sholay by legendary actor Amzad Khan.

“A video of Dangi has gone viral on the internet. A show-cause notice has been issued to him. Further action will be taken in the matter after a preliminary enquiry,” senior police official Anand Singh said.
