A video of the Independence Day celebration in Chhattisgarh’s Mungeli district, showing a pigeon released by a police officer failing to fly off, has gone viral, prompting the officer to demand action against those responsible.
Some social media users promptly noticed that a similar situation unfolds in season 3 of popular web series ‘Panchayat’.
During the function, BJP MLA and former minister Punnulal Mohle who was the chief guest, Mungeli Collector Rahul Deo, and Superintendent of Police Girija Shankar Jaiswal were handed pigeons to release, signifying peace and freedom.
The birds released by the MLA and the collector successfully flew off. However, when the SP released the pigeon, it fell to the ground.
Social media user Sachin Gupta shared the video on his ‘X’ handle and wrote, “Panchayat-3 was repeated in Chhattisgarh. SP sahab released pigeons on Independence Day. His pigeon fell down instead of flying. Watch the video.”
