This isn't the only such incident involving sit-ups. A few months ago, in the initial days of the coronavirus-induced lockdown, a homeguard in Bihar was allegedly forced to do 50 sit-ups by a senior agriculture officer after he stopped the bureaucrat's vehicle and asked him to show the mandatory pass for moving during the coronavirus lockdown.
