A question regarding the policemen harrased us just for not wearing ma


17-Sep-2023 (In Criminal Law)
Hi my name is ruchita rajguru i was travelling to beed via Ahmednagar and we were 5 people in a car and my father wasn't wearing mask because he has heart problem amd breathing issues. The police stopped us and asked us to pay 500 as fine but he has health issues at the same time when we denied he increased the amount by 2000 as we denied him . So my father stepped out of an car as they started having an argument i stepped out so the senior told me to back nad sit in the car. Why? Because i am a women? Is it right?

I think, he told you to sit back because when seniors talk, juniors should keep their mouth shut, not because you are a woman. To seek any further advice, you can get in touch. I will not disappoint you.

In this pandemic situation wearing of mask is necessary in public places. But in car if any person has any health issues for wearing mask then Police can't force to wear mask. In this pandemic situation police authorities sometime doing wrong thing towards people taking benefit of pandemic situation and recovering illegal money from people. But you were 5 people in car thereby you were liable for infringement of pandemic rule prescribed by government.
