A Unique Call to Emergency Services

Addiction to alcohol can lead individuals to cross boundaries. A peculiar incident from Vikarabad district in Telangana illustrates this. A man dialed the emergency number 100 and requested the police to bring him two bottles of beer.

When questioned by the police about the reason for his call, he stated, 'The police help those in need, so please assist me too.' What transpired next was quite amusing.

Ordering Beer via Emergency Call

This unusual event took place in the Falabad village under the Daulatabad police jurisdiction. A 22-year-old named J Madhu attended a wedding party where the alcohol supply ran out late at night. At around 2:30 AM, he decided to call the police.

Initially, he claimed that his life was in danger and that he was being threatened. However, upon the police's arrival, he requested two bottles of beer.

Police Response to the Request

The police were taken aback by the young man's request. When they arrived, they found him heavily intoxicated, having consumed both local liquor and beer. He expressed a desire for more alcohol but found the liquor stores closed, leading him to place an order with the police. His justification was that the police are there to assist those in need, and he needed beer.

Following this incident, the police registered a case against him and took him to the station, where his father was also summoned. After counseling, he was released. This incident has since become a topic of discussion on social media, with many astonished at such a request to the police.

Similar Incidents in the Past

This is not the first time such an incident has occurred. About two months ago, another strange call was made to the Telangana police, where a man complained that his wife was not preparing mutton curry. He was also arrested following that call.

In light of such events, the Telangana police have urged the public not to misuse the emergency number 100, as it wastes police time and can impact genuine emergencies.
