The Deputy commissioner of Police G Subbulakshmi  has gone viral over the past few weeks, especially among lockdown offenders and meme creators due to the unique punishments she has been giving. 

A group of violators were punished a week ago by making them ride along the figure 8. As per the report from Times of India (TOI), violators were asked to fill an empty glass with spoon on Friday. A bucket of water was placed 10 meters away from the glass. The offenders had to pick water with the spoon held in the mouth and fill it in the glass. 

“The officer was successful in handling in Washermenpet and Tondiarpet areas “, cited TOI in its report on the subject.
