Bolne se pehle, fact check. This happened in Mumbai where the state govt works against BJP, the local gunda party loves Bullywood, so if anything, this fellow would have been protected. Accept the fact that these people disobeyed the curfew rules in place, got caught for wrong doing. Simple, no need to add political masala into everything. PV post.
