A number of Twitter users argue the man was taking extra precautions to follow restrictions and avoid Covid-19.
"People get scared of the dude and don't come out on new year during Covid times, everyone stays safe. Isn't this a good thing?" one Twitter user wondered.

Interesting responses to my tweet which seems to have exploded all across the world - many people outside of Pakistan have responded by saying this guy is a hero and hasn't done anything wrong - certainly not enough to be arrestedhttps://t.co/ufcy3lPxXY
