Lockdown Violation.
3 years ago
Respected Sir/Ma'am, me and my father were taken to the police station before 7p.m. stating we violated lockdown in May. We were walking outside with face masks and yet they took us. They might have booked us under section 188 and/or 269. They took all our details like phone number, address, photos and made us sign in a certain form. Can you please tell me what will be the consequence? I haven't received any notice yet from the court. Will this hinder my process of joining Indian Army (as they need police verification) or passport making process?
Thanks.
