Rishikesh: At least 10 foreigners were caught loitering out amid lockdown due to coronavirus on Sunday by Uttarakhand police.
They were held from Tapovan area and were not maintaining social distancing and the police asked them to write a sentence of apology 500 times as a punishment.
“I did not follow the rules of lockdown so I am so sorry,” each one of them wrote 500 times, sub-inspector Vinod Kumar Sharma said.
Around 500 foreigners are staying in the Tapovan area these days and they are often seen violating the lockdown rules, throwing caution to the wind, he added.
