Love for chai is undeniable in India and a video of a duo holding onto their tea cups while being arrested has gone viral on the internet.

In the video clip, policemen are seen arresting two men and the duo was only fixated on their chai. As the cops took them to the police vehicle, they were seen carefully holding tea cups during the arrest.

As the duo approached the van, the man in the foreground attempted to take a sip, unbothered but couldn’t as the officer had gripped his hand. However, the second person walking behind was seen calmly sipping hot tea without breaking into a sweat.

The video was originally shared on Instagram meme page and the video got more than 200K likes.

The video soon spread to other platforms as well, and on Twitter IPS officer Ankita Sharma tweeted the video. She wrote, “Ye hum hain, ye humari chai hai, baaki baad me dekhenge (This is me, this is my tea, rest will see later),”

She added, “What I liked about the cops is they are not even throwing their cups and letting them drink chai, how sensitive.”

What I liked about the cops is they are not even throwing their cups, and letting them drink ☕️, how sensitive 💕
