According to the ANI report, Daryani said, “I was returning home from my company when I was stopped. I showed them my pass, but they verbally abused me and asked me to do sit-ups. I tried to talk to them, but they did not listen. I then followed their orders. They filmed it, cracked jokes, and then asked me to leave.”
Because of the high concentration of cases in Indore, it has become mandatory to wear face masks when in public spaces. In fact, face masks have become mandatory across the country to prevent the spread of the virus. The government has also advised that even homemade cloth masks, dupatta, scarves, or ‘gamchas’ (cotton stoles) can be utilized to cover the face.
The Police have been using innovative methods to deter people from breaking lockdown regulations. In Pune which is a hotspot in Maharashtra and has been sealed, sit-ups and even yoga are being used as a punishment for lockdown violators.
