In today's edition of 'how to misbehave with authorities and make things worse during a pandemic,' a couple from Delhi has proven that no matter how grave the situation is or how many people are struggling to stay alive in the current pandemic crisis, some of us will always have 'entitled' and 'privilege' written right across our foreheads with pride.
A video of a couple travelling in their car in Delhi without wearing masks has gone super viral on social media.?This even when the Delhi High court has made it mandatory that one needs to wear a mask while travelling in their car, even when alone.
So, when they were stopped by the police for flouting the rules, both of them misbehaved with the cops for doing their job.
The incident took place in Daryaganj area and in the video, both the woman and man are heard yelling at the top of their voices at the police officers. When they are asked to park on the side, both of them step out of their car, still with no masks on, and continue screaming and creating a scene.
Needless to mention but an FIR has been filed against the couple, Pankaj Dutta and Abha Gupta. According to an NDTV report, Pankaj had been arrested on Sunday and was to be produced in court on Monday and similar proceedings against Abha were also being initiated.
According to a report by Aaj Tak, Pankaj told the police at Daryaganj Police station that he had been asking his wife to wear a mask but she refused to do so. He said,?"What she did was wrong. I had been telling her for long that we should wear our masks, but she refused to wear one and even did not let me wear a mask,"
"My wife was instigating me," he added.?
He also mentioned that when he is not with his wife, he always wears a mask and follows all guidelines.?
