In a hilarious turn of events, a Bengaluru woman’s attempt to use a “family emergency” as an excuse to skip work and attend Royal Challengers Bangalore (RCB) Vs Lucknow Super Giants (LSG) PL match was busted when her manager spotted her cheering for the team on live television from the stadium.
The incident unfolded during a recent IPL match held at the M. Chinnaswamy Stadium in Bengaluru. Little did the woman know that her impromptu decision to call in sick and attend the match would lead to her being caught red-handed.
Her manager messaged her the next day after seeing her on TV, asking about the match and letting her know he had seen her live. This post was shared a couple of days ago. It has received more than two lakh views since its posting.
The incident quickly garnered attention on social media, with netizens amused by the woman’s failed attempt at pulling off a convincing excuse. Some praised her dedication to supporting her favorite cricket team RCB, while others couldn’t help but admire her audacity in trying to pull off such a bold move. The post also has nearly 4,000 likes and countless comments.
