One more incident of stone-pelting has come to light in COVID-19 times. This time, it is in Uttar Pradesh's Moradabad. When a team of medical staff and policemen went to Nawab Pura Colony in the town to take some residents of the colony into quarantine, they were attacked with stones by the locals.

"Some people pelted stones at the medical team and police that had gone to take a person possibly infected with COVID. As soon as the team boarded an ambulance with the patient, suddenly, a crowd emerged and started pelting stones. Some doctors are still there," the driver of the ambulance has been quoted saying by ANI.

Soon after, a police team reached the place and forcibly took the mob away from the place for quarantining them. UP CM Yogi Adityanath has let the police invoke the National Security Act in such cases.

Independent journalist Kanchan Srivastava posted the pic of one Dr Sudhish Agrawal, who was badly injured in stone-pelting. "Another doctor held hostage, ambulance broken, cops allegedly fled," she said.
