The Saeedabad police got in trouble with the court on Wednesday for bringing in a sick suspect. The suspect, a man over the age of 50, was visibly ill when he was brought to a local court for a hearing.
People got scared seeing the man lying on a bench outside the courtroom. They believed he might have the coronavirus and gave him a wide berth. The court got angry at the policemen and said they shouldn’t bring a sick person to court.
The courts have stopped under-trial prisoners from being brought to court in the hopes of curbing the spread of the coronavirus. Suspects in lockup are allowed to be brought in for their remand.
