The court is refusing to submit charge sheets filed against the violators of Covid-19 rules, say Mumbai police who worked overtime over the past two years, enforcing the pandemic-related curbs and guidelines, and even lost 123 personnel to the disease.

Under the instructions of the state and the central governments, the city police took action against people disobeying the measures imposed to contain the spread of the deadly Coronavirus. They arrested thousands under relevant Sections of the IPC and the Disaster Management Act. After completing investigations in all the violations, they recently filed charge sheets in the court, but it allegedly refused to submit them, citing pendency of the ongoing cases.
