A video of Olympian Dutee Chand allegedly flouting Covid norms has gone viral on social media.
As per reports, Dutee had participated in an idol immersion procession in Jajpur allegedly arranged without permission of local administration, recently.
Many people including Dutee herself were seen without masks while social distancing norms also went for a toss.
Thereafter, police reached the spot and asked to stop the procession as it was organised without official permission.
As a result of this, an argument ensued between Dutee and the cops over stopping the procession. In the video, the athlete was even seen asking the cops about their identity and the badge.
