Most states of India are under strict
lockdown to curb the spread of infection in the vicinity and people have been
asked to comply with the Covid-19 norms. Ever since the pandemic hit India,
people have been asked to practice social distancing, wear face masks, go out
when necessary, etc. To tackle the situation, the states’ Police have to make
sure that people are stepping out of the house only when necessary.
Amidst the lockdown, an intra-state travel ban has also been enforced and if in case one needs to visit within the state for urgency, he has to get an e-pass for the same. People have been sending their e-pass requests to the police officials to able to commute. In all such requests, there comes many which are hilarious and leave the officials in quandary.
In one such incident, the Kerala Police has received a bizarre request from a man who required an e-pass to step out of home for “sex”.

However, when the application was reviewed by the officials, the Assistant Commissioner of Police had instructed his team to keep an eye out on the individual. Later the man was arrested and brought to the police station for interrogation.
Clearing his stance, the man revealed that it was a typo and did not correct the spellings before dispatching the e-pass request. He further added that his intention was to write “six o clock” instead of “sex.”
Later, his apology was accepted by the officials and the man was released. The police further instructed him to not apply for an e-pass for non-essential purposes.
