Indian police punished lockdown violators
INDIA - India has just started a three-week nationwide lockdown, but many residents don't comply, so the police resorted to physical punishment for the violators.
Baton-wielding police officers have been filmed beating motorcyclists and pedestrians for breaching lockdown rules.
Other officers opted for exercise, ordering violators to do squats or push-ups.
India has far less per capita hospital beds than many other countries already overwhelmed by the coronavirus disease COVID-19.
