‘Lack of transportation’: Man calls police emergency number to seek a ride

Chikkamagaluru: In a peculiar incident in Taruve village, a man named Ashok called the police for assistance to reach his father-in-law’s house for the Pitru Paksha (a Hindu festival dedicated to honoring ancestors) rituals.
Ashok needed to travel to Palguni village to visit his father-in-law, but he found no available bus service, and it was also raining. Ashok resorted to an unusual plan due to a lack of transportation options. He called the police emergency number, 112, claiming that a brawl was occurring in the village and urgently requested their presence.
When the police arrived in Taruve village they found that no brawl was happening as reported. Upon questioning Ashok, he revealed that his true intention was to ask the officers to drop him off at his father-in-law’s house since he had no other means of transportation due to the rain.
The police were initially taken aback, unsure whether to be angry or amused by Ashok’s unusual request. Finally, the police flagged down a passing truck on the road and arranged a ride for him.
