Amidst administrative claims of strictly enforcing the prohibition law in Bihar, a shocking case has emerged from Muzaffarpur district. Acting on secret information, police conducted a raid in the busy and sensitive Station Road area of the city and arrested three employees of the Municipal Corporation in a completely drunken state. Following the arrest of the accused, when police conducted a test using a breath analyzer, the presence of alcohol in their bodies was clearly confirmed. Being in government service and openly found in such a drunken state during duty has caused a stir in the administrative setup. Through this detailed report, let us understand this entire raid, the antics of the arrested personnel, and the steps being taken by the police and municipal corporation administration.
Prompt Police Raid on Station Road Based on Secret Information
Muzaffarpur police had received secret inputs from informants that some people were creating a ruckus or roaming around in a suspicious state under the influence of alcohol in the Station Road area, a major commercial and transit hub of the city.
Cordoning with Police Force: Realizing the sensitivity of the information, the local police station and special patrolling team immediately laid a trap in the Station Road area. Without wasting any time, the police began cordoning off suspected spots.
Municipal Employees Caught Red-Handed: When the police detained the three suspect individuals present at the spot and questioned them, a strong smell of alcohol emanated from their mouths. Their activities and demeanor clearly bore testimony to their intoxication.
Confirmation of Drinking Alcohol in Breath Analyzer Test
The three arrested accused were immediately brought to the police station or mobile testing unit, where their intoxication was scientifically verified.
Use of Testing Machine: The police conducted a breath analyzer test on their breath right at the spot. As soon as the reading appeared on the machine's screen, it became clear that all three had consumed alcohol in large quantities.
Identification of Employees: During interrogation, it was revealed that the three arrested accused were not ordinary drunkards, but employees of the Muzaffarpur Municipal Corporation itself. The police were stunned when it came to light that people in government positions were flouting the law in this manner.
Uproar in Administrative Circles and Public Outrage
The arrest of municipal corporation employees in such a drunken state has raised massive question marks on the department's image.
Negligence During Duty: Local residents and commuters said that when government personnel responsible for maintaining the city's cleanliness or other arrangements roam the streets in such a drunken state, what message does it send to the general public? People have demanded strict departmental and legal action against the accused.
Reaction of Municipal Corporation Administration: After this incident escalated, the matter reached senior officials of the municipal corporation as well. The corporation administration is now trying to find out whether these individuals were deployed on duty or engaging in such behavior after duty hours.
Case Registered Under Excise Act and Further Action
The police have taken strict steps in this matter while following the full legal procedure.
FIR Registered: An FIR has been registered under relevant sections of the Bihar Prohibition and Excise Act against the three arrested municipal employees.
Preparation to Send to Judicial Custody: Police officials stated that after conducting a medical examination, the process of sending the three accused to jail in judicial custody is being completed. Additionally, an official report is also being sent to the municipal corporation for departmental action against them.
The arrest of three municipal corporation employees in a drunken state on Muzaffarpur's Station Road proves that lawbreakers are not being spared, whether they are ordinary citizens or government personnel. This violation of the prohibition law once again raises serious questions on administrative discipline and ethics.
