Earlier, four men were detained under the National Security Act(NSA) for the alleged attack on health workers in Indore. As sporadic attacks on doctors, social workers and police personnel come to light in the country’s battle against the coronavirus outbreak, the UP authorities also said the NSA will be slapped on people who assault policemen enforcing the 21-day national lockdown which entered the 10th day on Friday.
Under the NSA, people can be detained without a charge for up to 12 months if the authorities are satisfied that the person is a threat to national security or law and order.
