Owner of a BMW sedan from Chattisgarh was taking a joyride in his BMW at night amidst the lockdown while streaming live on Facebook. Cops tracked him and arrested him.
Our country has been imposing the nationwide lockdown now for over a month now and there’s a good reason for that. We need to flatten the curve of the spread of the pandemic and the lockdown is the only way of doing so. Of course, the violation of the lockdown rules must be severe and here we have a perfect example of that. This youth from New Shanti Nagar, Chattisgarh, was arrested by the police for venturing out and breaking lockdown rules.
This youngster named Abhinay Soni from Chattisgarh was live streaming his joyride in his BMW late in the night on Monday. He was most certainly arrested by the cops for such callousness. An architect by profession, Abhinay Soni belongs to a wealthy family. Even amidst the lockdown, he took his BMW out for a spin at night time and went as far as 20 km away from his home, roaming around in the city. He even stopped at a road-side eatery for a quick meal at Murshidabad. All this while, Soni was live streaming all his activities via his facebook profile.
Abhinay Soni was out on the roads without any valid reason and his action of going live on Facebook somehow caught the attention of the cops. The police traced him and eventually arrested hum. Under the rules of the lockdown, people are only allowed to move outside of their homes for emergency purposes or for procuring necessary items. No one is allowed to go out of their homes without a valid reason. The authorities are taking drastic measures to stop the vehicular and unnecessary movements of the citizens.

This is not the first instance where the police have taken a drastic step again the rule breakers. In many states, the police have seized thousands of vehicles from people who were out without proper protection and valid reason. These vehicles will only be returned after the lockdown has been lifted. In many cases, the police are also imposing hefty fines on the offenders. Being arrested and taken to jail will be worst outcome of such irresponsible behavior.

On a previous occasion, few people were arrested in Maharashtra for coming out without a valid purpose during the lockdown and were also live-streaming their activities. Such actions will only encourage more and more people to come out of their homes, which ultimately breaks the purpose of the lockdown. We urge everyone to stay at home and abide the rules that have been laid down by the authorities. Its certainly difficult but its the only way to overcome the situation.
