A man in Kerala's Punalur had to carry his 65-year-old ailing father on the road for nearly one kilometre on Wednesday after the auto-rickshaw they were traveling in was allegedly stopped by the police, who cited lockdown guidelines that were in effect due to the coronavirus pandemic. Despite the individual producing the medical records and hospital documents of his father, the police had stopped the vehicle after which they had to walk all the way to the Punalur Taluk Hospital. Hailing from Kulathupuzha, the ailing father was later discharged, but the harrowing incident has come under the scanner now as the Kerala State Human Rights Commission has registered a suo moto case after the visuals on social media created a lot of stir.
