District police chief Girija Shankar Jaiswal has now sought disciplinary action against those responsible for the awkward situation.
In a replay of the pigeon scene from web series Panchayat, a pigeon released by a senior police officer at an Independence Day event in Chhattisgarh's Mungeli dropped to the ground instead of taking flight. The bird, it is learnt, was sick. District police chief Girija Shankar Jaiswal has now sought disciplinary action against those responsible for the awkward situation.
A video of the moment, when the officer releases the bird and it goes down instead of up, has gone viral and sparked a meme fest. Many social media users have referred to the epic scene from the third season of popular web series Panchayat, in which the local MLA releases a pigeon and it drops dead.
At the flag hoisting ceremony organised by the local administration, BJP MLA and former minister Punnulal Mohle was the chief guest. Mungeli collector Rahul Deo, and Superintendent of Police Girija Shankar Jaiswal were also present. The three guests were handed pigeons to release. While the pigeons released by the MLA and the Collector took to the sky, the one released by the top cop did not. In the video, the senior police officer is seen asking organisers what went wrong. Left red-faced, the organisers swiftly arrange another pigeon and the officer releases it, successfully this time.
