Ever since its second season on YouTube and Netflix, Samay Raina’s ‘India’s Got Latent’ Season 2 has been creating buzz. One of the contestants who stood out was Kapil Dinkar, a police officer from Uttar Pradesh, who took to the stage in uniform and with a strong sense of humor, loud music, and unwavering confidence.
Kapil Dinkar’s clever entry left Samay laughing
The moment Kapil took the stage, he laughed, “Phir se shuru kar diya ye? Pichli baar chain nahi pada band karwa ke?” (Have you started this again? Didn’t you have peace of mind when you turned it off last time?)His comment immediately confused Samay. Intrigued, the comedian asked if he was just dressed as a police officer for the game or a military role. Kapil confirmed that he was a UP police officer and joined the show to sing a song.
Kapil Dinkar joined the army in 2021
Kapil joined the Uttar Pradesh Police as a constable in 2021. Reflecting on his journey, he revealed that his mother had always dreamed of him becoming a police officer, and he was very proud to see that dream come true.
Music remains Kapil Dinkar’s true passion
Although policing is his profession, music has remained his true passion. “Main department ka iklauta banda hoon jisko music karne ki permit hai,” Kapil said on his appearance, leaving the group visibly impressed.
Kapil Dinkar is a published author
Beyond his police work and passion for singing, Kapil is also a published author. He shared on the show that he has three books to his name and is working on eight more. In a discussion with Samay and the group, he also touched upon the work of Mission Shakti Kendra, praising it as an effective program. When Samay asked if he was afraid of crime in Uttar Pradesh, Kapil boldly replied, “Nahi, humein bahut achhi freedom di hui hai aur us par hum log bahut achha kaam bhi kar rahe hain.”(No, we’ve been given a lot of freedom, and we’re doing a great job with it.)
Kapil Dinkar is playing with the band
Kapil’s episode was full of light humor and playful banter. Haarsh Limbachiyaa laughed, “Agar hum jurm karein to aap hi aana pakadne.” Kapil immediately replied, “Aap jurm karoge hi kyun?” He also played BeerBiceps aka Ranveer Allahbadia, singing a line about the controversy in Season 1 meant he didn’t appear in Season 2. At the end of the episode, Samay said, “Thank you very much ki Indian Police se hamare show mein koi aaya. Isse hamare show ki credibility aur badh gayi.” (Thank you very much that an Indian police officer came to our show. This has added credibility to our show.)
Kapil Dinkar’s best score is a prize of Rs 1 lakh
Samay, along with his colleagues Kiku ShardaChandan Prabhakar, Haarsh Limbachiyaa, and Balraj Singh Ghai, were impressed with Kapil’s performance and rated him 10/10. Surprisingly, Kapil gave the same to himself. In addition to laughing, when Samay tried to stop the party, it did not work. He laughed, “Police ke saamne blast nahi kar sakte.” Kapil won Rs 1 lakh for his performance, and an additional Rs 50,000 for answering the bonus question correctly.
Kapil Dinkar’s ‘Wheel Of Fortune’ is a musical inspiration

Along with his duties as a police officer, Kapil takes his music seriously, often expressing his desire to collaborate with Yo Yo. Honey Singh. He has also paid tribute to the late Punjabi singer Sidhu Moose Wala through several musical performances that are distributed on TV.
