UP Police Makes Man Dance To Sapna Chaudhary Song For Breaking Lockdown, Official Gets Suspended

It is getting difficult now to star indoors, right? It's even more difficult for Police to make people follow lockdown rules. The Police have been adhering to odd, funny and quirky ways to punish people who are stepping out despite being advised to stay at home avoid the infection.

That's what happened in Uttar Pradesh recently. A video doing the rounds shows a man dancing to Sapna Chaudhary's popular song Teri Aakhya Ka Yo Kajal .

Apparently, that's how he was punished for breaking the lockdown guidelines. He was asked to dance.

As he gave a committed performance, they all hooted and cheered for him.

As the video went viral, the post in charge was suspended, according to the Etawah police media cell.

In the video, constable Subhash Kumar is purportedly seen kicking and beating up the man with sticks. The video was shared by the Samajwadi Party on Twitter.
