HYDERABAD: A video of TRS leader and former MLA
Teegala Krishna Reddy
being stopped for
mask violation
by Rachakonda police has gone viral on social media.
Police stopped his car as Reddy was not wearing mask and issued a challan even after he tried to argue with probationary sub-inspector (PSI) who was supervising the enforcement team.
On Monday morning, PSI Mukhesh along with a team of constables was performing enforcement work against people not wearing masks. The team was posted at Indra-Nagendra cinema hall junction at
Karmanghat
and they stopped Krishna Reddy’s SUV. The former
MLA was sitting in the front passenger seat and was not wearing a mask.
Krishna Reddy disembarked from the vehicle and tried to reason with police that he was travelling in a personal vehicle, but police insisted that he should wear a mask as more than one person was travelling in the vehicle.
PSI Mukhesh did not budge and and made it clear that a case would be booked for violation of law and asked the constable to take photos of the offender and the vehicle with the tablet.
Saroornagar inspector K Seetharam said no abusive language was used by anyone and a challan was issued for Rs 1,000 for mask violation.
