Indian authorities remain in the headlines for various reasons, but this time it’s for a ridiculous occurrence. In April, a video went viral in which a police party locked a group of young boys in a police van which allegedly had a coronavirus infected person. It later turned out to be a prank, aimed at teaching a lesson to reckless youngsters.
In another bizarre incident, the Beconganj police arrested a goat for not wearing a face mask.
