Oye…Oye…Oye…, shout policemen as scores of men, like bees to honey, swarmed the area and tried to run away with liquor bottles, some with success, laid out on ground to be destroyed, showed a video from Andhra Pradesh.
The incident, the video of which is now in wide circulation, was reported on Monday from Guntur, nearly 40 km from state capital Amaravati.
The cops were in the process of destroying Rs 50 lakh worth of seized liquor at a dumping yard on Etukuru Road when they were caught unawares with the rush of men.
A quick bend and the men decamped with bottles, some with multiple liquor bottles even as cops tried to control and turn them away, showed the video.
At no point, the cops appear to be using force, with men coming in from all direction.
A man escaping with the liquor bottle, showed the video, was made to turn around and put it back.
The police are now investigating the matter to identify those responsible for the theft.
