Abuse of Power
‘Mardaani 2’ Inspiration IPS Officer Archana Tyagi in Hot Water Over Viral Fire Brigade Video
IPS officer Archana Tyagi, the real-life inspiration behind Rani Mukherji’s character in the 2019 film “Mardaani 2,” has come under fire after a viral video allegedly showed her misusing a fire brigade to fill a water tank at her Dehradun residence. The unverified video has sparked a social media backlash, with netizens criticizing the apparent misuse of power by the celebrated ‘supercop.’
Dehradun: A video purportedly showing IPS officer Archana Tyagi, whose character inspired Rani Mukherji’s role in the film “Mardaani 2,” has gone viral on social media. The video, which is yet to be verified, claims that Tyagi called the fire brigade to fill the water tank at her residence in Dehradun, sparking widespread criticism.
The video allegedly shows a fire brigade vehicle being used to fill the water tank, with a name board at the gate displaying IPS Archana Tyagi’s name. In the video, a person can be heard saying, “This is the right use. Water tanks are being filled at the house. What will happen if any fire incident occurs?”
The incident has led to a backlash on social media, with many users accusing Tyagi of misusing her power for personal gain. Comments from netizens have been harsh, with one user writing, “Officers who indulge in such exploitation should be dismissed immediately,” while another questioned, “What is the difference between colonial rule and the current government’s rule?”

According to a report by Live Hindustan, the Chief Fire Safety Officer informed the Hindi daily that a fire brigade vehicle was sent to the residence approximately one and a half months ago. However, the video remains unverified, and the exact circumstances surrounding the event are unclear.
Archana Tyagi is renowned as a ‘supercop’ and is considered one of the most dynamic officers. The 2019 film “Mardaani 2” was based on her, with Rani Mukerji playing the role of a police officer inspired by Tyagi. The viral video and ensuing controversy have put her in the spotlight once again, albeit for reasons that are far from heroic.
As the debate continues, the incident raises questions about the use of public resources and the accountability of public officials.
