Police also using CCTV footage to detect violations
Three youngsters near Aluva who ventured out on their motorcycles in violation of the triple lockdown on Wednesday morning ended up having a hard time, as they had to trudge back home on foot. The Ernakulam Rural police, out in numbers on the road to enforce the lockdown, were not amused a bit and seized their motorcycles, besides slapping them with a fine. “Booking violators of lockdown restrictions and seizing vehicles have turned out to be an effective deterrent. We seize vehicles for the day, and the persons concerned will have to get them from the police stations concerned in subsequent days. Vehicles of repeated offenders will be submitted to the court and released only after the lockdown is lifted,” said K. Karthik, District Police Chief (Ernakulam Rural).
