The Pune City Police on Monday scotched speculation that it has imposed a complete lockdown for the next three days. “A video clip showing a police vehicle making announcements of a complete lockdown is being circulated since Monday afternoon in Pune city. The video clip does not belong to Pune police. Therefore, citizens should not panic,” said Joint Commissioner of Police Ravindra Shivase.
