An Assistant Sub-Inspector (ASI) was arrested in Madhepura district for being intoxicated. The incident occurred at Mathahi Chowk where the ASI allegedly created a disturbance. Acting swiftly, the police detained him and conducted a breathalyzer test, which confirmed his inebriated state. Subsequently, a First Information Report (FIR) has been registered against him under relevant sections.

According to police sources, on Monday night, some individuals complained about a policeman causing a commotion while drunk at Mathahi Chowk. Upon receiving the information, a local police team arrived at the scene and tried to control the ASI. Initial observations raised suspicions of the officer's intoxication, after which he was taken for a medical examination. Following the confirmation of alcohol consumption through a breathalyzer test, the ASI was arrested.

This incident is a serious matter for the police department, especially at a time when complete prohibition is enforced in Bihar. The violation of the prohibition law by a police officer himself is a cause for concern. In this case, the police administration has acted promptly, attempting to send a message that lawbreakers, regardless of their position, will not be spared. An FIR has been filed against the arrested ASI under the Bihar Prohibition and Excise Act. Further departmental and legal actions are underway. This incident has caused a stir within the police force, and senior officials have ordered an investigation, recognizing the gravity of the matter. Such incidents negatively impact the image of the police force and can erode public trust in the law.
