Indore: Sarafa police station in-charge Amrita Solanki tried something new to punish those who violated the lockdown on Monday night. She caught the violators roaming in the area but asked them to beat each other with sticks provided by the cops.
Solanki said that on the instruction of senior officials, our team was patrolling the area when a group of youths was seen roaming in Sitlamata Bazaar.
