A 30-year-old man lodged an First Information Report (FIR) against his father for not following the lockdown in South-west Delhi’s Vasant Kunj area. The Government had imposed lockdown across the country in wake of coronavirus outbreak on March 25.
The FIR was filed on Wednesday at Vasant Kunj South police station. In the FIR, Abhishek Singh said that he works in an automobile company and lives in Rajokari area.
“His father Virender Singh (59) does not follow the lockdown rules and used to roam in the area daily,” the FIR stated.
While talking with The Pioneer, the complainant, Abhishek Singh said that he had to take this step keeping in mind the safety of his father as well as his family members.
“I have taken this step as he was not listening to my requests so wanted the cops to strictly prohibit him from going out. My intentions was just the safety of entire family and do not want the small virus to entire my home. Keeping in mind the pandemic I had to take this action,” Singh said.
Since the outbreak of COVID-19 in India on 30 January, over 50 people have lost their lives to infection, while it has also reported more than 2000 positive cases in the country as on date according to data released by the federal Health and Family Welfare Ministry.
