Indore: In a bizarre incident, a tehsildar in Debalpur of Madhya Pradesh’s Indore district punished the people roaming on the streets during the curfew imposed to curb the Covid-19 infection by asking them to do frog jumps.


This came to light after a video of the episode surfaced on social media.

With the people not paying heed to the government’s orders asking them not to venture out of their homes during the Covid-19 lockdown, the Indore Police had last year come up with a unique way to punish the violators while ensuring the message of “stay at home” reaches one and all.
