Last week, a weekend curfew was announced in the national capital and the cops were on duty catching hold of anyone who was violating the order. According to NDTV, at around 4-4.30 pm yesterday in Delhi’s Dariyaganj area, cops stopped a married couple travelling in a car without face masks and a curfew pass.
The woman started arguing rudely with them saying, “He is my husband, if I want I will kiss him.” The man added, “Why did you stop my car? I was inside my car with my wife.”
कोरोना के इस दौर में ऐसे जाहिल लोग भी याद किये जाएंगे ,कार में बैठा एक कपल बिना कर्फ्यू पास के दरियागंज इलाके में घूम रहा था वो भी बिना मास्क के,पुलिस ने जब रोका तो बोला अपने दोस्त को किस करूंगी,पुलिस ने केस दर्ज कर दोनों को गिरफ्तार किया pic.twitter.com/Z9iCnmp4Hu

The New Indian Express reports that the couple (Pankaj and Abha) are residents of Patel Nagar. After they refused to pay the fine and dared the cops to take action against them, a case was registered by the cops. The man has already been arrested and his wife is to be arrested shortly.
While some people questioned the need for people from the same family to wear masks inside a car, others believed that the couple should be punished for violating curfew as well as misbehaving with police personnel.
Is the police so helpless,why don’t they take necessary action instead of facing such insult. Take maximum action,and max fine.Then only these sort of characters will fall in line

Sad state of affairs that law violators are arguing with law enforcers.
However , two persons from same family sitting in closed car without mask is offense, but addressing a rally or being part of one with thousands of people around without mask is not.— Sharad Shukla (@sharad_shukla) April 19, 2021
Why only arrest? Make them do community service that too in corona ward,Without mask. Then they will know importance of rules.

There is a point. If only husband and wife are in a closed car, why mask is needed? In home, they must be staying together and close. Will police check them in home also for mask? Yes If they step out of car without mask, they should be punished, fined. A point to ponder

Do you believe that the couple was wrongly detained or that they should be produced in court for their actions? Tell us.
