In Bihar, a peculiar turn of events unfolded when a police van carrying four accused men, headed for a court hearing, ran out of fuel on the way. However, instead of awaiting assistance, the men – reportedly nabbed for consuming alcohol in the dry state – took matters into their own hands, showcasing unexpected cooperation and resourcefulness.
Rather than waiting passively, they began to push the immobilised van to safety. Their swift action ensured that traffic flow remained uninterrupted and potential dangers were avoided. It is not known if the men were instructed to do so by the officers.
Footage of the incident, shared on X by @jist_news, quickly garnered significant attention, amassing 1.2 million views, 8.4 thousand likes, and 2.1 thousand retweets.
Watch the video below:
Social media users were both amused and impressed by the actions of the accused, with one suggesting, “Court should consider this “act of kindness” before judgement.” While others humorously attributed the event as a normal routine incident and said, “Tell me the video is from Bihar without telling it’s from Bihar.” Some proposed leniency in their sentences as a reward for their efforts, “Reduce their sentence for this?”
