Drunk man rides bull in Rishikesh in viral video

A video of a man riding a bull during a night had caught the attention and his bizarre action had met with severe criticism from netizens. The incident occurred on May 5.

Now, the Uttarakhand Police have announced that they have caught the person who rode the bull in an inebriated state. They have also said that they are taking legal action against the person.

"Taking cognizance of the video circulated on social media about a drunk youth riding on a bull in Tapovan Rishikesh late night on 05th May, while taking legal action against the youth, the youth was warned not to misbehave with animals in this way in future," Uttarakhand Police said on Twitter.

In the clip, the man was seen seated on the bull as it ran on the street on a dark night. However, the cops had remained closed and there were less commuters on the road.

Luckily, he escaped without any injury or put others in trouble.

The video had gone viral and many had criticised him for his gesture which could have possibly hurt him and others on the road.

"How cruel. I wish we can make him run like this. Can the government take action?" a user wrote on Twitter.

"He is bahubali man not drunken 🙂✂️, rajamoli sir take him for next," second user added humour. "Skill required for this😅..bhai ko Spain mai hona mangtay," third one said.

A netizen claimed that it was not as cruel as the Jallikattu, a bull-taming sport played in Tamil Nadu. He wrote, "Sir, this boy has not even behaved so badly, as happens with animals in Jallikattu in Tamil Nadu, and horse riding is also excessive in this....."
