A strange incident was reported in Uttar Pradesh recently where the District Magistrate of Baghpat, Jitendra Pratap Singh, and Superintendent of Police Arpit Vijayvargiya were allegedly served a fake water bottle of Bisleri named ‘Bilseri’. A viral video showed the bottle kept in front of the DM, following which he took it in his hand, questioned the officials, and inquired about it.
The act led to the confiscation of thousands of counterfeit water bottles, which were destroyed by bulldozers. The incident reportedly occurred when the DM-SP visited the Niwada police post during the Baghpat Tehsil Sampoorna Samadhan Diwas, organized ahead of the Haryana assembly election 2024.
