Bhopal:
A video shows girl students in school uniforms buying alcohol from a government liquor shop in Nainpur in Mandla district district of Madhya Pradesh.
The incident has sparked outrage, embarrassed local authorities, and raised serious questions about law enforcement and social awareness in the state.
The CCTV footage, now in wide circulation, shows a group of uniform-clad schoolgirls, their heads partially covered with scarves, walking into the liquor shop. They approach the counter, buy the alcohol, and leave.
The shopkeeper not only entertained their request but completed the sale, a clear violation of law.
Within hours of the video going viral, Sub Divisional Magistrate (SDM) Ashutosh Thakur, along with the Tehsildar and local police, rushed to the shop for an on-the-spot investigation.
