Assault against a police officer leads to the couples’ arrest

Alcohol makes a person speak out the truth, so they say. But by how much? And an inebriated person does weird things that they won’t do when conscious.

In a rather funny and amusing incident, a woman under the influence of alcohol allegedly bit and fractured a police officer’s finger at Kelva beach in Palghar district. The incident took place at Kelva beach, a popular weekend getaway, on Saturday when people complained to the police about a young couple who were heavily drunk and were creating a nuisance.

“The couple was creating a ruckus on the beach… Local residents called the police,” said Siddhva Jaybhaye, assistant police inspector, Kelva police station. Jaybhaye added that the police took the couple to the police station and intended to book them for making nuisance under the influence of alcohol in public, reported The Indian Express.

“The couple were not in their senses and could not even tell us their names. So, I asked for their identification cards and planned to call their families to take them away, as they were in no condition to go home by themselves… But the woman started scratching us with her nails,” said Jaybhaye.

As the incident was getting out of control, a constable on duty Swati Gunjal and Jaybhaye attempted to calm the woman. However, the police said that the woman bit their fingers. “The woman bit the joint of a finger and fractured it. She also injured constable Gunjal’s little finger… But the woman had no idea what she was doing,” added Jaybhaye.

The cops booked the couple, Vijeta Devpa (28) and Ravindra Thakur (28) for using criminal force to obstruct a government official from carrying out their duty and with causing hurt under the Indian Penal Code. The couple was later arrested and on Sunday produced before a court, who remanded them to police custody until Tuesday.
