Violators come up with absurd excuses
The Hindu
569 FIRs lodged and 323 persons held for violating curfew from 8 p.m. on Saturday till 5 p.m. on Sunday
The Delhi police came across unreasonable excuses from weekend curfew violators despite repeated appeal made by the government, apart from the police requesting people to stay indoors and avoid venturing out for no valid reason. The South East district took action against such violators. In one such case, a man said he was going to buy liquor when the police stopped him in Jamia Nagar. He was stopped and booked for violating the lockdown orders. In another case, a man was booked after he claimed he was out to distribute wedding cards for his sister’s wedding.More Related News
