While a majority of them were curfew defaulters, a big number of the suspects were arrested at pool table joints for failure to observe social distance while playing games at the joints. The curfew defaulters were arrested on roads and bars where they had locked themselves drinking past 7pm. Beer recovered from one of the bars was presented in court as an exhibit. The bar owners and their clients pleaded guilty to the charges of contravening the Public Order Act against them. Most pleaded guilty before resident magistrate Mercy Malingu.
