A police station in Ahmedabad’s Kot area witnessed an unusual late-night operation during Ganesh Chaturthi after a rat allegedly bit a Police Inspector (PI) resting in his chamber.
The inspector, who had been occupied with security and law-and-order duties during the festival, was resting in his chair when the rodent reportedly appeared and bit him on the leg before disappearing underground.
The incident left the officer startled and prompted police personnel to launch an immediate search for the elusive rat inside the station.
Police Staff Launch ‘Operation Mooshak’
Following the incident, the PI reportedly questioned the staff over cleanliness at the police station and directed personnel to locate the rodent.
Police officers who routinely spend their time tracking down accused persons were instead tasked with finding the ‘culprit’ inside their own station.
The staff searched the premises late into the night with torches, checking behind piles of old files, station diaries and seized property. However, the rat remained elusive and reportedly disappeared into the building.
Inspector Gets Injection Over Infection Concerns
With the rat still at large, the inspector was reportedly concerned about the possibility of infection following the bite.
As the situation continued, a doctor was summoned to the police station. The inspector was administered an injection, after which he and the staff reportedly breathed a sigh of relief.
Old Building, Files Add To Rat Menace
The unusual incident has also drawn attention to the condition of the old police station building, where piles of old files and discarded material reportedly provide hiding places for rodents.
There is now talk among the staff of requiring pest-control measures to tackle the rat menace at the station.
For a police team accustomed to dealing with criminals, the late-night search turned into an unexpected ‘Operation Mooshak’—this time, with a four-legged suspect on the run.
