The frivolous arrest of a domestic animal : Corona Chronicle #108
A video that went viral on the social media became a reason to laugh for many people during the lockdown.
The video was of a goat being forced into a police van by Beaconganj police officers.
It was the most bizarre thing people saw during the COVID-19 pandemic.
A cop who was a part of the team who took the goat to the police station admitted that the goat was violating the rule of not wearing a mask in the lockdown.
He said that people are making their dogs wear a mask so even goats should wear a mask.
The irony is that COVID-19 is not found in animals as was confirmed by WHO and Indian Health Authorities.
The police and the city became a source of mockery and memes.
The police was getting mocked for their bizarre action.
The police was being called out so they changed the story to its entirety.
The police started saying that they saw a young man without a mask who was taking the goat with him.
When he saw the police coming, he left the goat and ran away.
The police men brought the goat to the police station.
They fined the owner for the violation of rules and then handed it over to him.
