Dear Editor
It's a disheartening that one video coming from the city of Baduan, western Uttar Pradesh, shows that a police officer forcing a group of young men to walk on a main road, strapped with their bags, in Lucknow.
Two days after the "total lockdown" ordered by Prime Minister Narendra Modi to stop the spread out of the COVID-19 police punished those who violated curfew and ignored restrictions on mobility. Giving videos have started popping up all over the country, According to reports that was received from the town; they are migrant workers trying to return home between lockdowns. He was apprehended by policemen, who refused to listen to their requests, and the scourge hoped and crawled in disgrace. Where other senior officers were present but other places were taken care of. Corrective action should be taken, but after a while AK Tirpathi Budaun' chief apologized.
