Lucknow | A video purportedly linked to Lucknow has gone viral on social media, drawing sharp reactions after it showed a woman drinking alcohol in public while sitting on a scooter bearing a “Police” marking. The visuals have raised questions about the misuse of police insignia and public conduct on city roads.
In the clip, the woman is seen seated on a scooter parked along a public road, repeatedly sipping from a flask. She appears to be in an inebriated state and makes no attempt to conceal her actions. What caught the attention of viewers was the scooter itself, which has the word “Police” written prominently on the front.
According to social media users, the vehicle’s registration number carries a Lucknow RTO code, suggesting a possible connection to Uttar Pradesh’s capital. However, the exact location and timing of the incident have not been officially confirmed.
The video was widely shared on X (formerly Twitter), where a user tagged the official handle of Lucknow Police, urging authorities to look into the matter. The post carried a sarcastic remark questioning whether the woman was associated with the police department and suggesting she “needs a long leave to freshen up.”
As the clip continued to circulate, several users demanded clarification from the police, asking whether the scooter was an official vehicle or if the police marking was being misused by a civilian. Many also expressed concern over the apparent violation of public decency and traffic norms.
So far, there has been no official statement confirming the woman’s identity or the ownership of the scooter. Police sources indicated that such incidents are taken seriously, especially when police symbols or markings are involved, as their misuse can mislead the public and damage institutional credibility.
The incident has once again highlighted how viral videos can quickly trigger public scrutiny, putting pressure on authorities to act swiftly and transparently.
