Even as the Ganjam district administration has asked people to strictly follow the lockdown guidelines, misbehaviour shown to some senior citizens by police in Brahmapur has sparked resentment among general public.
The matter came to the fore after a video showing the incident went viral in the social media. Some senior citizens, including women, alleged that they were not only misbehaved but their vehicles were broken when they had gone to buy vegetables and ration. Most of them said they were only members of their families staying in home currently.
Basing on the video, district Collector Vijay Amruta Kulange has served a show-cause notice to the local Tehsildar asking him to give clarification in the matter. The SP would take appropriate action against two Constables who were seen damaging vehicles after conducting investigation, said the Collector.
