Unusual Call to Police for Beer in Telangana Goes Viral
A Bizarre Request to the Police
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 officers about his reasoning, he stated, 'The police help those in need, so please assist me too.' The ensuing events were quite amusing.
Dialing 100 for Beer
This unusual occurrence took place in the Falabad village of 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. Thus, he thought it reasonable to order beer from the police, arguing that they are there to assist those in need.
Consequences of the Incident
Following this incident, the police registered a case against the young man and took him to the station. His father was called in, and the young man underwent counseling before being released. This entire episode has sparked discussions on social media, with many astonished at the audacity of such a request from the police.
A Similar Incident Previously
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 events, the Telangana police have urged the public not to misuse the 100 emergency service, as it wastes officers' time and can hinder genuine emergency responses.
