A man sleeping on the roadside fully covered in a white sheet was mistaken as a dead body.
A video of the bizarre incident that was reported from Ghaziabad district in India’s Uttar Pradesh has gone viral on several social medial platforms. Assuming the man sleeping at a busy road to be a corpse, local police were called and people gathered to have a look at it with traffic coming to a halt.
Police officials, responding to a report about what was thought to be the dead body, arrived at the spot only to find out that the person presumed dead was sleeping in a tarpaulin sheet, making the incident a hilarious one.
The 29-second video clip concludes with the man waking up from his slumber and walking away as the crowd disperses.
