The 23-seconds video clip shared by Uttar Pradesh police shows a scene from the movie in which iconic villain 'Gabbar', played by late actor Amjad Khan, spits in the open. As the video moves further, the film's protagonist 'Thakur', played by late actor Sanjeev Kumar, catches the villain.
"Why was 'Gabbar' punished?" reads the running text on the video. The video ends with the message that "spitting in public places can increase the risk of spread of COVID-19 and it is a punishable offence".
Everyday we see people in cars taking the pain of opening the door while driving
