Vettel arrested for under-age drinking after winning India GP

Noida(U.P): In a development that could have far reaching consequences for Formula One in India , two time World Champion and winner of the inaugural Indian Grand Prix Sebastian Vettel was arrested today for under-age drinking. The minimum age limit for alcohol consumption in the NCR region is 25years and Vettel is 24years of age.

The inaugural Airtel Indian Grand Prix was held today in Noida at the newly commissioned Buddh International Circuit.Vettel who drives for the Red Bull Racing Team started the Indian Grand Prix from pole position and after a perfect race finished first. As is the norm the podium finishers were given a bottle of champagne which they then opened to drink in open view of the public to celebrate their win. " Ka bhaiya aise khulle aam daroo peeyenge to humka arrest to karna hi padega na bhai" said a confident and smiling Inspector Yadav who arrested Vettel even as 3 cases of rape were registered in his jurisdiction and over a 100 cases of murder and kidnapping remain unsolved." This is the quickest UP police has ever acted, hopefully they will continue the pace for other cases as well" said a resident of Noida, a city infamous for its crime rate.

What can be an embarrassment for the ruling party is the fact that CM Mayawati was the one who presented the champagne along with the trophy to Vettel. "She is encouraging the youth to drink.This is unacceptable in our Indian society" said Mr Digvijay Singh spokesperson for the Congress.

It is still not known who has infact lodged the FIR against the driver with BSP blaming Congress saying it is their tactic to defame their party. Meanwhile rumors are also doing the round that miffed at not being invited for the Indian GP sports minister Ajay Maken may have lodged the complaint to take revenge against the GP organisers.
