The petty attention of two police officers on duty in Sikkim has taken the internet by storm and earned widespread praise for putting public convenience ahead of punishment.
The incident, which has since gone viral, shows officers calmly moving a motorcycle that was parked in a no-parking zone. Instead of issuing a challan, they shifted the vehicle to a reserved parking lot, thereby ensuring the road was cleared without penalizing the owner.

The moment was captured by solo traveler and content creator Satyajeet Dahiya, who happened to witness the scene. In the video, Dahiya is seen asking the policemen why they moved the bike instead of taking enforcement action. One of them matter-of-factly answers that the motorcycle was obstructing the road. Impressed by their attitude, Dahiya remarks to the camera, “Where would you find such a police force?”

Sharing the clip on social media, Dahiya provided further context. He explained that the officers said the decision was taken in view of the festive season when a large number of visitors – especially from neighboring West Bengal – arrived to take part in local celebrations. The goal, he wrote, was to prevent inconvenience or unnecessary trouble for both residents and tourists.

“This kind of responsibility and care really reflects the spirit of the festival,” Dahiya added in his caption, praising the police for handling the situation patiently rather than harshly.
The video quickly gained attention, with users across platforms applauding the police for what many described as a humane and sensible approach to law enforcement. Several commentators noted that while the rules of the road are important, discretion and empathy can go a long way in building public confidence.
User wrote: “No doubt why sikkim is the best state.”
Another user commented: “Sikkim police are so professional, protective and helpful, experienced.”
“It is unfortunate that outsiders cannot buy land in this beautiful state. It is fortunate that they do not allow outsiders to buy land in their state and that is why the state has been able to preserve its nature, culture, morals and ethics,” wrote a third user.

“They really are the best, I took my bike twice one way and they just gave me a warning and let me go,” wrote a fourth user.
Others contrasted the moment with more repressive policing seen elsewhere, calling the gesture a reminder that small decisions can leave a lasting positive impression. Many users also highlighted how such events improve the experience for tourists, especially during peak holidays.
“Haryanvi getting culture shock in Sikkim,” wrote a fifth.
As the clip continues to circulate, it has become another example of how everyday acts of civic sense — when caught on camera — can resonate far beyond their immediate surroundings, turning routine police work into a moment of viral goodwill.
