Delhi Police has registered a case against a driver carrying seven migrant workers back to their native place in Vaishali, Bihar amid the nationwide COVID-19 lockdown on Thursday night.

During checking at South Extension, police intercepted the car coming from AIIMS flyover side.

When questioned, the driver initially gave false reasons about the presence of eight people in the car.

Upon further interrogation, it was revealed that seven people, excluding the driver, were labourers who used to work at construction sites in West Delhi area, and were trying to return to their native place in Bihar.
