In Chandigarh, a drunk police officer caused havoc on Kaimbwala Road at Sukhna Lake when he drove his vehicle into multiple other vehicles. The drunk officer, Assistant Sub Inspector (ASI) Daljit Singh, reportedly drove over 10 vehicles in this incident.
According to eyewitnesses, ASI Daljit Singh was so drunk that he was unable to see the road in front of him, resulting in his hitting cars and other vehicles on the road, creating panic and disarray.
