In the video, he is seen standing bare feet wearing a mask on a busy market street, as people passed by him he is heard saying, “Tumlogon ka mask kaha hai? Bina Mask k ghum rahe ho? Mask peheno dono. (Where are your masks? Why are you roaming without masks? Wear a mask)."

He has a yellow stick-like object in one hand and is seen playfully hitting the 'violators' with it. 

With the tourists not following COVID-19 norms the situation in the hill state seems to be getting out of hand. Kangra senior superintendent of police (SSP) Vimukt Ranjan said told HT that he would take a review situation of the place soon.
