In a related note, a video surfaced on the internet claiming how filmmaker Sudhir Mishra was beaten up by the Mumbai police for not following rules. However, the director has clarified that it was not him. Social Distancing Fail? Photo of COVIDIOTS 'Keeping Their Bags in Line And Chatting Together' Goes Viral.

How sick ! Whoever that coward who takes a beating like that , it ainтАЩt me , sickos ! Get a life."

On Being Asked Whether It Was Him:

Clarification Again:

Meanwhile, the police is going to all extents for the safety of their citizens, putting their own health at risk. It can be seen that they are having quite a hard time convincing some of the stubborn citizens who refuse to understand the gravity of this grave situation. Hopefully, this viral video (of NOT Sudhir Mishra), remind people of the repercussions of violating the rules.
