Rajasthan Government Nurse Faces Charges for Drunk Driving and Public Disorder in Hisar
A government nurse from Rajasthan has been formally charged with obstructing public order and drink-driving following a disruptive incident in Hisar, Haryana. The episode occurred during the late hours of Saturday, April 11, when the woman allegedly parked her car in the middle of a busy intersection and verbally abused bystanders.
Traffic Chaos at Camp Chowk
Police authorities reported that the woman, identified as a staff nurse at a Primary Health Centre in Hanumangarh, Rajasthan, caused a significant traffic jam at Hisar's Camp Chowk. The situation unfolded around 11:40 PM when officers on night patrol noticed a large crowd gathered around a vehicle with Rajasthan registration plates.
A police spokesperson detailed: "The woman parked her car directly in the middle of the road, which immediately led to a traffic jam and attracted a substantial crowd. Eyewitnesses confirmed that she used abusive language and steadfastly refused to move her vehicle despite repeated requests from the public."
Video Evidence and Social Media Circulation
The entire incident was captured on video and subsequently shared widely across various social media platforms. The footage clearly showed the accused nurse refusing to relocate her vehicle while shouting aggressively at onlookers, further escalating the chaotic scene.
Police Intervention and Investigation
Sub-inspector Rajesh Kumar, along with a female constable, eventually managed to bring the volatile situation under control. The woman, who hails from Anupshahr in Rajasthan, was taken to a local police station for further processing.
Key findings from the police investigation include:
- An alcohol test confirmed that the nurse was intoxicated at the time of the incident.
- She was unable to produce valid registration or insurance documents for the vehicle.
- Police temporarily seized the car but later released it to a member of the nurse's family.
Legal Action Under Bharatiya Nyaya Sanhita
Following a formal complaint filed by assistant sub-inspector Virender, police registered a First Information Report (FIR) at the Urban Estate police station. The charges have been filed under relevant sections of the Bharatiya Nyaya Sanhita (BNS), India's new penal code.
Officials emphasized that the investigation remains ongoing and that strict action will be taken to prevent similar disruptions to public safety and order in the future. This case highlights the serious consequences of drink-driving and public disorder, particularly for government employees in positions of public trust.
