So-called Indian authorities. Lame as ever! No regard or respect for human values.

Man, the pain on Sudha’s face as she expressed her hurt 😢 I thought someone hurt her with physical violence. How much it must have hurt her to remove her prosthetic leg 😔Shame on whoever asked her to do so. I hope CISF really sensitises their staff on priority and she doesn’t have to go through such a horrible experience again
