Hapur Police shared a post on Twitter and said that 20 kilograms of rasgulla were seized from two people.
The Uttar Pradesh Police arrested two people for violating Covid guidelines while celebrating the results of the Panchayat Polls in the state. Hapur Police shared a post on Twitter and said that 20 kilograms of rasgulla were seized from the two people, who distributed sweets to gatherings following the announcement of the results.
As India is reeling under the deadly second wave of Covid-19, the Election Commission had asked states to refrain from celebrating after the results were announced.
As the two people in question distributed sweets after the results were announced, Hapur Police arrested them for violating Section 144 of the CrPC, banning assembly of five or more people at one place.
“Hapur Police arrested two people who violated Covid guidelines and Section 144 of the CrPC to distribute rasgullas among a gathering. 20 kgs of rasgullas were seized from them," Hapur Police said in their post in Hindi.
