Many
Bollywood
celebrities
including
Swara
Bhasker,
Richa
Chadha,
Anurag
Kashyap,
Anubhav
Sinha
and
Kritika
Kamra
have
slammed
the
viral
videos
of
police
brutality,
wherein
the
cops
can
be
seen
beating
the
citizens
for
stepping
out
to
buy
groceries
amid
the
nationwide
lockdown.
On
March
24,
while
addressing
the
nation,
PM
Narendra
Modi
announced
a
nationwide
lockdown
for
the
next
21
days,
to
contain
the
spread
of
the
Novel
Coronavirus
(COVID-19)
in
the
country.
While
sharing
the
video
on
her
Twitter
page,
Swara
Bhasker
wrote,
"STOP
LATHI
CHARGING
CITIZENS
DURING
LOCKDOWN.
Pass
it
along."
Actress
Richa
Chadha
also
tweeted,
"What's
the
logic
behind
beating
people
to
death
inorder
to
prevent
them
from
dying
of
a
virus?"
Filmmaker
Anurag
Kashyap
also
slammed
the
police
for
beating
the
people
amid
the
lockdown
and
tweeted,
"पढ़े
लिखे
police
वालों
की
सख़्त
ज़रूरत
है
देश
में।
@narendramodi
और
@PMOIndia
के
आदेश
का
कौन
सा
हिस्सा
इनकी
समझ
में
नहीं
आया
।
सिर्फ़
ज़रूरत
का
सामान
ले
जाता
हुआ
इंसान
,
अकलबंद
police
का
शिकार
।"
Kritika
Kamra
is
as
disgusted
as
Swara,
Richa
and
Anurag,
and
tweeted,
"Many
videos
of
police
brutality
on
the
internet.Gross
abuse
of
power.A
man
today
has
lost
his
life
because
he
was
beaten!
It
is
appalling
that
in
these
dire
times,
people
don't
just
need
to
save
themselves
from
a
deadly
disease
but
also
the
local
cops
&
violent
vigilantes.
#Shame."
Anubhav
Sinha,
also
asked
netizens,
"Is
it
even
legal
to
beat
up
someone
like
that?" while
sharing
the
video
of
a
cop,
beating
a
man
for
stocking
groceries
on
his
two-wheeler.
