B'luru: Police top-cop warns of legal action against clicking publishing pictures of COVID patients
Bengaluru: City Police Commissioner Bhaskar Rao has warned of initiating legal action against people who click pictures or videos of Corona patients when they are being taken to hospital.
The Commissioner took to his official twitter address the issue and added that the social media and even some of the other news media have shown pictures and videos of Corona patients being taken to hospital.
“This is creating panic among the people nearby and reducing their courage. In addition, it is the invasion of privacy,” said Rao.
“No infected person's picture or video may be taken without the person's permission. If the rule is found to have been violated, we will take legal action,” the Commissioner stressed.

Attacks on Christians contradict PM's message of harmony, visit to church: Gehlot
Jaipur (PTI): Former Rajasthan chief minister Ashok Gehlot on Thursday expressed concern over the reported attacks and disruptions in prayer gatherings of the Christian community in different parts of the country, saying such incidents were "worrying and condemnable".
In a post on X, Gehlot said that while the Prime Minister Narendra Modi was visiting a church and giving a message of peace and harmony, news of attacks on members of the Christian community from various regions reflected a serious contradiction.

"Symbolic gestures would not be enough, and strict legal action was required against those spreading hatred," the senior Congress leader said.
He added that Indian culture has always upheld the spirit of "Vasudhaiva Kutumbakam", where every citizen has full freedom to practise their faith.
Gehlot urged the Centre and state governments to uphold the rule of law and ensure that no citizen is forced to celebrate their festival under fear.
