VADODARA: Not just roaming around during lockdown, but even throwing tobacco wrappers or spitting on roads can invite arrest. Chhota Udepur police arrested three persons in Bodeli and Pavi Jetpur on Monday for littering around after coming out of their houses.
In Bodeli, cops nabbed Kamlesh Tadvi, a resident of Vaddhari village, and Jitendrasinh Parmar, who lives in Pavi Jetpur, as they were found loitering around in Vaddhari and Kosindra villages without any purpose and also spitting tobacco that they were chewing. The duo was booked for violation of public notification and committing a negligent act to spread infection dangerous to life.
In Pavi Jetpur, Jayendrasinh Solanki, a resident of Pavi Jetpur town, was nabbed as he was throwing plastic wrappers on road. “He was already chewing tobacco and had thrown several empty wrappers of tobacco and paan masala when we held him. When he was questioned, he spat out the chewed tobacco in front of us which is very harmful especially in current times,” said a police official. Solanki too was booked under similar charges as Tadvi and Parmar.
“In the past few days, we have booked several people littering on road like this and roaming around for no reason,” said a police official of Bodeli police station.
