The Uttar Pradesh director general of police (DGP) Javeed Ahmad on Saturday tested a Taser gun on himself during a demo. A video showing Ahmad testing the Taser gun -- a conducted electrical weapon (CEW) -- on himself was circulated widely on social media, winning accolades from online users. The CEW gives a non-lethal electric shock to the person that paralyses a person temporarily by impacting neuro-muscular capacity. It delivers an electric shock aimed at temporarily disrupting muscle functions or causing pain without significantly hurting the person. The IPS Association also tweeted: “Kudos to @Uppolice DGP@javeeddgpup for takng electric shock shot on himself during a demo.”
