In the clip, the woman, wearing a black sleeveless top and denim jeans, was seen seated on the road amid ongoing traffic.

Similar Incident in Haridwar
A comparable incident took place earlier this year in Haridwar, Uttarakhand, where a woman, also allegedly under the influence of alcohol, was seen disrupting traffic near the Har Ki Pauri area. Dressed in a salwar kameez, she reportedly attempted to jump into an auto rickshaw as cars passed by.
