Hyderabad, Jan. 1 -- The Ghaziabad police found itself in hot water during a citizenship verification drive in a slum area after one of its officers apathetically asked a family if they hailed from Bangladesh.

A video of the incident surfaced on social media platforms on Thursday, January 1, where the Kousambi police officers casually place a mobile phone on the back of one of the family members, and ask, "Bangladesh ke tho nahi ho? (Are you from Bangladesh?)"

Despite the man identifying himself as a native of Bihar, the police officers imply, "Machine tho Bangladeshi dikha rahi hai (Machine indicates you hail from Bangladesh)."

The video has gone massively viral on social media, with many questioning the police's approach.
