‘I’m Having Thoughts Of Ending My Life’: Suspended UP Woman Cop Responds To Viral Video Row

A week after being suspended over an allegedly objectionable social media video, Uttar Pradesh Police sub-inspector Anu Collis broke her silence during a YouTube livestream on Saturday, accusing influencer Amit Kilhor of sharing her personal content without permission and damaging her career.

Collis, a 2023-batch police officer, said she had been confined to her room for several days and was under severe mental stress. “Thoughts of ending my life are coming to my mind,” she said, adding that she had also received death threats and that her family was being targeted.

She alleged that Kilhor had taken photographs and videos from her social media accounts and shared them without her consent. According to Collis, the influencer has since deleted the video and allegedly contacted her brother to apologise.

Wearing the same dress seen in the viral video, Collis said it was a dress she had purchased with her mother from a mall in Agra and that there was nothing objectionable about it. She questioned why others had a problem with her clothing when her family did not.

Collis also denied allegations that she produced obscene content or received funding through social media. She challenged anyone making such claims to have her and her family's bank accounts investigated.

She said her social media content was primarily focused on food, fitness and gym-related videos and that she was willing to cooperate with any investigation.

Collis was suspended on August 16 for allegedly violating police conduct rules after the video sparked controversy. An investigation is being conducted by SP Crime Avnish Kumar.

Kilhor had earlier shared the video and urged senior authorities to take action, alleging that Collis posted objectionable content and displayed a QR code for donations.

Collis said she would not resign and maintained that she had done nothing wrong.
