Telangana Cop Hits Men On Bike With Lathi, Stick Gets Stuck In Back Seat & They Drive Off
Police across the country are coming down with a heavy hand on anyone they spot roaming about aimlessly on the road.
In Telangana, one cop's lathi assault on a lockdown violator turned awry. In a bid to discipline two men roaming on a bike, the cop whipped out his lathi.
After the third blow, the stick got stuck in the bike's back seat and the men just drove off without a care in the world, while the cop hastily ran after them.

Many pointed out how there were so many people on the road with zero personal protection gear, while some others regarded the cop's action to be uncalled for.
The hilarious video has left people online in splits, take a look.

I can't understand what it will take for people to realise that they shouldn't be out and about. They're helping this virus stay longer.

So no one's really gonna ask why are there so many people on the road? And that too without any PPE?

Serves the cop right. What was the justification of randomly hitting a person onna two wheeler. The attitude of police after 6 years of Modi is to beca colonial oppressor of the kind the British would have been proud to have.

A few days ago, Telangana chief minister K Chandrasekhar Rao threatened to impose a round-the-clock curfew, bring in the army and issue shoot-at-sight orders if the people continued to violate the lockdown orders.
According to the chief minister, Telangana has 59 confirmed cases of COVID-19 as on March 27.
The Telangana health department has been releasing at-least two COVID-19 update bulletins daily.¡°At present, 58 COVID-19 patients are undergoing treatment. About 20,000 people are in either government or home quarantines,¡± said Rao in a press conference.
The state machinery is gearing to deal with a situation of even 60,000 cases. ¡°We have already readied 12400 beds with 1400 for ICU, and 11,000 for isolation treatment,¡± the CM was quoted as saying by the Deccan Herald.
