"When the police enquired Verma of his grievance, he said, "I had left some potatoes in my house at around 4 pm. I thought that when I will come home, I will prepare the food with it. But the potatoes went missing. This is my family's dispute," Verma, who looked distressed in the video, told the UP Police. 

When the police enquired about the potatoes, he said there were 250-300 grams of potatoes left in the house and added that he was not aware of the suspects. 

The police then asks Vijay Verma if he has consumed alcohol to which he responds: "Yes, the 'Theka' one...' 

"I am somewhat intoxicated. I work hard as a labourer, so I drink sometimes," he added.

As the video went viral, it evoked hilarious responses from social media users who couldn’t help but laugh out loud over the incident.
