Hubballi, May 29: A police constable from Hubballi Rural Police station has won the hearts of netizens, after playing melodious music on his lathi.

Nicknamed by the netizens as ‘pied piper of Hubballi’, 52-year-old Chandrakant Hutgi, a police constable and talented musician found a unique way to merge his passion and profession.

He turned his 'lathi' (a fibre baton used for defence) into a flute.

His creativity was appreciated by additional director general of police, Bengaluru, Bhaskar Rao who shared a video of Hutgi playing folk song 'Kodana Kodi Nungitha' on his flute cum lathi on his Twitter handle.
