Diplomat flouts lockdown, argues with cops
Amid the nationwide lockdown caused due to the deadly coronavirus pandemic, an Uruguayan Diplomat was caught violating the lockdown rules in Delhi's Vasant Vihar by the Delhi Police on Saturday. She was caught cycling without wearing a face mask and gloves and when the patrolling police officials tried to stop her she was seen arguing with them. The police officer was accompanied by two lady constables at the time of the incident.
In the video, one can see the police requesting the woman to follow the guidelines given by the MEA. But the women in return was seen arguing with the officials and was instead asking the official to consult her Embassy over the issue.
"Some residents of Vasant Vihar also reached the spot and informed me that being official of Resident Welfare Association (RWA) they are also trying to convince the foreign nationals of Vasant Vihar, but they are not listening and roaming here," the police official said.
