Found in shocking condition during duty

According to officials, Chaube Singh was found near the family compound inside the Tehsil Sadar premises. He was reportedly in an intoxicated state and partially undressed.

In the viral video, he is seen rolling on the ground and repeatedly asking, “Where am I standing?” His uniform was also in poor condition, which added to the shock among people present at the scene.

Assigned VIP security duty

Police said the sub-inspector had been assigned VIP security duty in the Khalapar police station area for the Chief Minister’s visit. However, instead of reporting to his duty point, he was found in this condition at another location.

Questions raised over security claims

The incident has raised serious questions about security arrangements. At the time, the district administration had claimed “high alert” and “three-layer security” for the Chief Minister’s visit.

However, this episode has put those claims under scrutiny and sparked debate about discipline within the police force.

Mixed reactions flood social media

The viral video triggered a wave of reactions online. Some users made jokes about the officer’s condition, while others criticised the lack of discipline.

One user sarcastically asked whether he should be called “Chaube Ji or Babu Saheb”. Another wrote that such incidents bring disrepute to the police department.

"पुलिसवाले चाहते तो खाकी को इस फजीहत से बचा सकते थे!!"

मुज़फ्फरनगर में मुख्यमंत्री योगी जी की रैली थी और बहुजन दरोगा जी ड्यूटी पर तैनात थे। शराब पी ली और फिर अपने ही पेशाब में लोटते हुए पाए गए....

Some users demanded stricter action, saying suspension alone is not enough. Others suggested that the officer may need help and should be sent to a de-addiction centre.

A few comments also pointed out that officers responsible for law and order must remain alert, especially during important duties.
