Sudhir Mishra Slams Trolls For Sharing Video Of Man Getting Beaten By Police Claiming It’s Him

A video of an old man who bears resemblance to Bollywood filmmaker Sudhir Mishra is making rounds on the internet. Some have been sharing the video saying that the man, who is getting beaten up by the police for not following social distancing protocols is in fact Sudhir Mishra.

Sudhir took to his Twitter handle to clarify that that is not him, and slammed trolls for rejoicing thinking that he was getting beaten up.

In the video, a tall man with white hair wearing a yellow t-shirt and beige shorts is beaten by the police when he does not listen to their orders to stand in a queue outside a shopping complex.

Sudhir Mishra fired at trolls for claiming, without verifying that it was in fact him in the video. In a series of tweets, Sudhir wrote, "I am quite amused that people think I would take a beating without reacting . Every tall white haired guy is not me . What shocks me is that the glee of the troll brigade . How sick ! Whoever that coward who takes a beating like that , it ain't me , sickos ! Get a life," (sic).

He added, "Look at the joy of these people spreading a blatantly wrong video ? Do you have think I should sue the lot of them ? These half blind morons with sh*t in their brains who can't zoom into a picture?" (sic).
