A Unique Call to Emergency Services

Addiction to alcohol can lead individuals to make questionable decisions. A recent incident from Vikarabad district in Telangana exemplifies this. A man dialed the emergency number 100, not just to report an issue but to request two bottles of beer from the police.


When questioned by the officers about the reason for his call, he cheekily 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 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 due to threats from others. However, upon the police's arrival, he made a surprising request for two bottles of beer.


Police Response to the Situation

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 was disappointed to find that the liquor stores were closed. Thus, he resorted to calling the police for his beer.


His rationale was that the police are there to assist those in need, and he felt justified in making his request.


Consequences of the Call

Following this incident, the police registered a case against the young man and took him to the station. They also called his father to the station for support. After counseling, he was released. This peculiar incident has since become a topic of discussion on social media, with many astonished at the audacity of such a request from the police.


Previous Similar Incidents

This is not the first time someone has made such a call. About two months ago, another bizarre incident occurred when a man called the Telangana police to complain 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 to refrain from misusing the emergency number 100, as it wastes valuable time for officers and can hinder responses to genuine emergencies.
