Javed Khan, 34, was driving his auto-ambulance to pick up a COVID-19 patient â 57-year-old Madan Singh â from Ayushman Hospital to take him to Narmada Hospital in Bhopal when the police stopped him at a barricade. They did not allow him to proceed, citing COVID-19 restrictions. The police did not budge even as Khan tried to reason with them that he was only ferrying COVID-19 patients in his autorickshaw. Instead, he was detained and held for two hours.
