Video Shows Police Officers Intoxicated, INSAS Rifle Left Unattended

A viral video from Ambikapur details a troubling episode involving two police personnel from Durg district. After escorting a detainee to the central jail, Sub‑Inspector Jeevan Prakash Ekka and Constable Rishikant reportedly consumed alcohol and were later found slumped near the bus stand. The camera captures a government‑issued INSAS rifle in a derelict state on the ground, highlighting a lapse in weapon security. Local by‑standers alerted the nearby police post, which seized the firearm and escorted the drunk officers away. The footage has intensified scrutiny of internal disciplinary measures across the state police.
