Inebriated man sleeps on tree, causes panic

Kalaburagi : A drunk man caused panic among the people at the Gulbarga Institute of Medical Science hospital premises on Sunday, by sleeping on a tree for hours.
People who saw him sleeping on a branch, shouted and tried to wake him up, but didn’t succeed, after which they called the police.
Police arrived at the spot and directed two people to climb up the tree and get the man down. The police personnel thought that he may have died, as he was not moving. However, when the two people climbed the tree, and checked his vitals, they found that he was alive. They also told the police that the person was completely inebriated and in deep slumber. They found some liquor bottles on him.
They got him down while he was still in deep sleep, and laid him on the ground, after which they sprinkled water to wake him up. When the police asked him why he slept on the tree, he said that as the Covid-19 ward is located in the hospital, he wanted to avoid getting infected, and hence climbed the tree and slept on it.
