'Do whatever you can': Mirzapur police officer refuses to pay for glasses, threatens shopkeeper; watch video
Screengrab A police inspector in Mirzapur, Uttar Pradesh, was caught on CCTV allegedly threatening an optical shop owner and leaving without paying for a repaired pair of eyeglasses. The video, recorded on July 25 at Chashma Point, has gone viral on social media. In the footage, the inspector is seen speaking in a threatening tone and saying, "I will not pay. Do whatever you can," before walking out with the glasses. — gharkekalesh (@gharkekalesh) Shop owner Ajit Singh said the officer had come to replace the lenses in an old pair of spectacles, for which the repair charge was Rs 800. While the inspector had earlier made an advance payment for a separate pair of glasses, Singh said the unpaid amount was for this separate repair. Meanwhile, the Mirzapur Police also released a statement later acknowledging the situation and clarifying some facts. They confirmed that while the inspector did indeed pay in advance for one pair of spectacles, he declined to pay the additional Rs 800 for the separate lens replacement and stood firm despite protest from the shopkeeper. Later, the police official left the shop without paying the remaining amount.
