The incident happened when a police team led by ASI Gobind Prasad went to Chaura Khurd village after getting a  specific tip-off that some people were running an illegal distillery there. “When I tried to confiscate the equipment being used in the production of the  hooch, three people manhandled me and tore my uniform,” said Prasad said in his complaint. Though, there six cops were accompanying the ASI, but they reportedly fled the spot as the bootleggers outnumbered them.
