A disturbing incident from Jalaun district in Uttar Pradesh has sparked widespread outrage after a video surfaced showing a police officer allegedly intoxicated while on duty. The incident occurred when locals dialled Dial-112, Uttar Pradesh’s emergency service number, to report a fight in the area. However, instead of resolving the situation, the officers’ actions took an unexpected and embarrassing turn.
Cop Seen Drinking with Accused Instead of Intervening
The viral video, which has now been shared across social media platforms, shows one of the responding police personnel appearing visibly drunk. The footage captures the officer sitting with one of the inebriated individuals involved in the altercation, consuming alcohol together rather than taking any action to de-escalate the situation.
Reports indicate that before the officer’s drinking episode, a young man had been beaten by the accused, further raising concerns about the police’s failure to address the violence and chaos at the scene.
In the video, the visibly drunk policeman is seen holding a torch and trying to drink from it, apparently mistaking it for an alcohol bottle. His unsteady movements and visible shaking due to extreme intoxication raise serious questions about the professionalism of the officers on duty. The situation worsens when the officer collapses to the ground, crawling on his knees and struggling to maintain balance. Another officer present at the scene is seen trying to help the intoxicated policeman stand, amplifying the embarrassment of the moment.
“UP | Jalaun district fight reported to Dial-112. Drunk police arrive, brutally beat the fighters, then one cop—high as fuck—starts drinking from a torch thinking it’s liquor. Watch the madness!

Social Media Outrage and Criticism
The video quickly went viral, attracting sharp reactions from netizens who criticised the police’s unprofessional behaviour. Many pointed out the irresponsible nature of the officer’s actions, especially considering the seriousness of his duties and the emergency call he was responding to. Social media users condemned the incident as a clear example of the breakdown in law enforcement standards, calling for accountability and disciplinary action.
No Official Response or Action Yet
As of now, there has been no official confirmation regarding any disciplinary action against the officers involved in this disgraceful episode. The lack of immediate response from the Uttar Pradesh Police has only added to the public frustration, raising critical questions about the accountability, discipline, and overall professionalism of the state’s law enforcement.
This incident serves as yet another reminder of the growing concerns surrounding police conduct in the region. With no formal action taken so far, the people of Jalaun and social media users alike are calling for urgent reforms and stricter measures to ensure such incidents are never repeated.
