I want to ask, can only Modi Ji walk in this country? Can't a normal person walk? Our vehicle was stopped, so we started walking."He then told the police that he wanted to walk to Hathras alone and demanded to know under which section he was being arrested."I want to walk to Hathras alone. Please tell me under which section you are arresting me," he asked.On this police replied, "We are arresting you under Section 188 of IPC for violating an order."Noida Additional Deputy Commissioner of Police (ADCP) Ranvijay Singh said that the Congress leader's vehicle was stopped as the Epidemic Act, imposed to combat COVID-19, was being violated."We have stopped them here.
