"In a bid to stop the miscreants from blowing loud plastic trumpets into the ears of people at the market place in Garha locality, the police gave them a taste of their own medicine," City Superintendent of Police (CSP) Tushar Singh said.

There were instructions from the Superintendent of Police to keep a check on the miscreants in crowded areas during the festive season, he said.

"Some miscreants riding on two wheelers were found blowing plastic horns close to the ears of some persons in crowded areas. They were stopped and asked to get this experience themselves. The miscreants were asked to blow these trumpets close to the ears of one another so that they can feel the loudness," Singh said.

They were also counselled and later allowed to go, he said.
