Bottles of alcohol were allegedly found, and a traffic response team and police were alerted through the helpline. In the video, a constable is seen inspecting the vehicle, while the man argues with police personnel. Sources said the man and his friend were taken to the Madhavpura police station for further action. However, no offence was registered at the time, and both were let off. Police said action will now be initiated based on the viral video. Inspector C R Rana of the Madhavpura police station said that the man is currently absconding. “Further action will be taken once he is traced and subjected to a medical examination,” Rana said.
