Watch: Tamil Nadu Cops Put Lockdown Violators In Ambulance With Fake Coronavirus Patient

BySwarajya Staff

In a bid to teach a lesson to bike borne youths who were violating lockdown while not wearing either masks or helmets, a team of Tamil Nadu police in Tiruppur District caught hold of them and threw them inside an ambulance with a fake coronavirus patient.

The three youths who were going together on a single scooter were not aware that the person sitting inside was not a real coronavirus patient and a result were terrified.

The video shows them frantically attempting to escape from the ambulance while running hither-tither inside the vehicle. At one point in the video, one youth even tried to climb out of a window.

The cops eventually released the youths with a warning after giving them a good scare. The cops as a result urged the public to follow lockdown and social distancing norms during the lockdown.
