A Unique Call to Emergency Services

Addiction to alcohol can lead individuals to make questionable decisions. A peculiar incident from Vikarabad district in Telangana illustrates this point. A man dialed the emergency number 100, requesting the police to bring him two bottles of beer.

When questioned by the officers about the reason for his call, he stated, 'The police help those in need, so please assist me too.' The ensuing events were quite amusing.

Requesting Beer via Emergency Call

This unusual occurrence took place in the Falabad village under the jurisdiction of the Daulatabad police station. 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 receiving threats. However, upon the police's arrival, he requested two bottles of beer, insisting they bring them along.

Police Response to the Situation

The police were taken aback by the young man's request. Upon reaching him, they found him heavily intoxicated, having consumed both local liquor and beer. He expressed a desire for more alcohol, but the liquor stores were closed. Thus, he resorted to calling the police for his beer order, arguing that it was their duty to assist those in need.

Following this incident, the police registered a case against him and took him to the station. His father was also summoned, and the young man underwent counseling before being released. This bizarre request has since become a hot topic on social media, with many astonished at the audacity of such a demand.

Previous Similar Incidents

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 subsequently arrested as well.

In light of these incidents, the Telangana police have urged the public not to misuse the 100 emergency service, as it wastes valuable time for officers and can impact genuine emergencies.
