Several tourists from northern India were forced by the police to write “sorry” 500 times for violating the mandatory confinement decreed by the government to contain the spread of the new coronavirus, according to a police source, cited by The Guardian.
Ten tourists from Israel, Mexico, Australia and Austria were arrested as they strolled through the streets of Rishikesh, having been forced by the police to write 500 times. ‘I didn’t follow the containment rules, sorry’.
Since the confinement was decreed in that country at the end of March, the Indian police have carried out several cartoon sanctions on all those who do not comply with the measures stipulated by the Narendra Modi Executive.
The international press reported the use of disguises, such as helmets to imitate the image of the new coronavirus, as well as dances and even resorting to physical force, attacking offenders with baton.
To date, India, a country of about 1.3 billion people, has recorded 273 fatalities with Covid-19 and more than 8,300 positive cases of infection.
