Geeta Phogat condemns woman's unruly behavior

The video which was recorded by the police shows a woman who was reportedly caught by the police for flouting the lockdown rules. When confronted, the woman refused to cooperate with the police who later started escorting her away. Even so, the woman resisted and refused to be led away by the cops. 

Instead, she started arguing with the police and held one of the female constables by her uniform and refused to let go. Sharing the video on Twitter, Geeta Phogat lauded the health department and police and slammed the woman's behaviour.

Her tweet in Hindi roughly translates to: "In this hour of crisis, words aren't enough to praise the health department officials, police and administration whose lives are at stake while they are saving ours. The administration should take strict action against the woman who is misbehaving with the police."
