Delhi Couple Misbehaves With Police After Being Pulled Over For Not Wearing Masks In Car, Husband Says Wife Instigated Him
A video of a couple travelling in their car without wearing masks and misbehaving with police in Delhi has gone viral on social media. The couple not only flouted COVID rules mandated by the Delhi High Court but also quarrelled with police for questioning.
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.

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.
