Expresses concern about arguing with police when people are stopped
Days after receiving flak over high-handedness while enforcing the lockdown that led to three complaints against the police landing at the Karnataka State Human Rights Commission, Praveen Sood, DG&IGP, Karnataka Police, said: “Instead of questioning every move of police, let’s introspect on our own movements”. He pointed out that the lockdown was ‘all about sacrifices and inconveniences for a bigger cause – stopping spread of COVID-19’, and appealed to the people to cooperate. He tweeted that the police are doing a tough job risking their lives; around 13,000 of 90,000 police personnel have been infected by COVID-19 and 130 lost their lives. “Endless arguments don’t make either of us safer. Just stay away.. stay home and stay safe,” he tweeted.More Related News
