In yet another incident of highhandedness, a teenager was beaten and dragged by Bengaluru municipal officials after he apparently refused to undergo a random Covid test. In a video being circulated online, officials can be seen brutally beating and forcing a boy to take the Covid test. Later, one official is seen holding the boy’s neck and almost banging his head on a table. Reacting to this incident, BBMP Commissioner Gaurav Gupta said that a departmental investigation has been ordered. He said that strict action will be taken against the guilty. Some reports said that boy registered at the camp thinking it was for Covid vaccination and refused test when he realised that it was a testing camp.
