On Sunday, police in Srinagar said that seventeen boys arrested for breaking the Corona curfew by participating in a pro-Palestine protest were returned to their families after receiving proper counseling.
In a statement, a police spokesman said the boys were arrested for participating in protests in violation of Section 51 of DM [Disaster Management] Act during Corona Curfew.
He said the parents assured that they will guide their children to not engage in any activities which are against the law and in times of Covid can lead to spread of the infection.
As per the spokesman, SSP Srinagar Sandeep Chaudhary appealed to the youngsters to concentrate on their studies and career building.
Chaudhary, as per the spokesman, said that a section of the society managed best facilities and life opportunities for themselves and their families but used “boys from humble backgrounds as fodder for furthering their careers and agendas.”
