In yet another bizarre incident, in the Yogi led Uttar Pradesh, the UP police ‘arrested’ a goat that was roaming on the street ‘without wearing a mask’.
Reports said that the incident took place over the weekend when the Beconganj police picked up a goat and took it to the police station in a jeep.
When the owner of the goat learnt that the police had taken it away, he rushed to the police station where he pleaded with the cops and the police finally let him take back his goat but warned him not to allow the animal to roam on the road.
Circle officer, Anwarganj police station, however, said that the police had found a youth without a mask, taking the goat along.
One of the policemen who had brought the goat admitted that they found a lockdown violation because the goat was without a mask.
“People are now making their dogs wear a mask so why not a goat?” he asked. The police apparently changed its version after it became the butt of jokes on social media.
