Overview
- A viral clip from Chandigarh shows a delivery worker standing motionless behind a parked car with a bidi in his mouth, with users saying it was recorded Tuesday in Sector 33.
- Sector 34 police later detained a man found acting suspiciously in the same area, took him for a hospital examination, produced him before a magistrate, and released him on bail.
- Officials said medical tests did not confirm alcohol or other substance use, and they have not verified the clip’s timing, location, or whether the detainee is the person in the video.
- Police reported no complaint from residents and described the detention as a preventive step by a patrol team, while reports differed on the man’s identity and age.
- Indian Express named a 24‑year‑old Sunil from Dhanas, while other outlets cited 27, as the episode also renewed concern about delivery workers’ long shifts, fatigue, and limited health support.
