UP Constable Allegedly Drunk at Magh Mela
A video went viral showing a police officer in Uttar Pradesh who seemed drunk while working at the Magh Mela.
People were upset because the officer was supposed to be keeping order, but instead, he was unsteady and slurring his words.
When asked why he was like this, he said it was because he was cold.
Many people on social media made fun of him or were angry, saying it's unfair that regular people can't drink and drive, but police officers can drink on duty.
The police haven't said anything official about it yet.
