Karnataka Man Steps Out During Lockdown, Tells Cops His Hen Has 'Constipation Issues'
The man said that his hen is sick and has constipation for which he needs to visit a veterinarian. But far from being convinced, cops were amused with his reasoning and sent him back home.
Lockdown has been tough, no denial. You are restricted from making movement, can't go out freely and while away time for anything non-essential. But what could be non-essential to someone might extremely essential for someone else.
Take this case. A man in the Gadag district of Karanataka went out during the lockdown imposed across the state to visit a veterinarian to see his pet hen. The reason: the hen had constipation issues. Now before you laugh, or no worry, you can laugh for a minute, consider this: The man argued that his hen is actually suffering from constipation and need to be treated by a veterinarian.
The police in #Gadag had a hearty laugh after a man claimed be was taking the hen to a vet as it had constipation issues. Police however sent him back home @santwana99 @ramupatil_TNIE @XpressBengaluru @KannadaPrabha @raghukoppar @karnatakacom @NammaBengaluroo @DgpKarnataka pic.twitter.com/BEdxton5ce

But he was halted by the police at the check post and enquired but failed to convince the cops of his reasoning who were amused to hear his excuse.
Now some of you might be wondering how did the man know that the hen is suffering from constipation or if at all hens suffer from constipation. Well, this seems to be on everybody¡¯s mind who watched the video. And one of the readers even shared a blog post that claimed that chickens, like humans, do overeat sometimes, and that could be the reason that the man's hen was suffering from constipation.

Well, good to know of it but we would leave the scholarly learning of the fact for a later date for now.
At the moment, like many readers of the post, we want to be impressed with man's ingenuity to come up with such an excuse to go out during lockdown.
However, this is not the first time when anyone has come up with such amusing ideas to circumvent the lockdown restriction. A few weeks back, a man in West Bengal ventured out during lockdown wearing a large note around his neck which read - "Going To Buy Mishti Doi". Even then, the police didn't get convinced and sent the man back home.
In Gadag too, police sent the man back and advised him to home-treat the "constipated" hen.
