Sudhir Mishra Beaten by Mumbai Police? Filmmaker Reveals Truth Behind Viral Video

A video has been going viral on the Internet that shows a tall white-haired guy being brutally beaten up by the Mumbai Police. What’s bizarre is that netizens were quick to mistake the man in the video to be filmmaker Sudhir Mishra.

“In The Lockdown, Urban NAXAL  Sudhir Mishra got Danda Pujan By The Police Sudhir Mishra wasn’t maintaining social distancing and argued with Mumbai Police persons when requested by them to follow. He then threatened police guys by saying that I will get you suspend” was one of the many tweets that surfaced online after the video went viral.

Filmmaker Hansal Mehta soon came out to clear the air and called the video Fake. 

And now, the man himself, Sudhir Mishra has taken a jibe at the trolls and clarified that the man in the video is not him.  "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)” the filmmaker tweeted.

“Look at the joy of these people spreading a blatantly wrong video? Do you have to 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?” he added.

Owing to the Coronavirus pandemic, Prime Minister Narendra Modi has announced a 21 days lockdown in the nation. Despite the lockdown, many people are carelessly roaming around, which is why the officials have to take strict action against the ones not maintaining social distance. The police officials are even resorting to lathi-charge if needed, and many such videos of policemen beating up men and women have surfaced online.
