Yesterday a viral video of a man being beaten up by the police for violating lockdown rules was all over the internet. In sometime the buzz went on strong that it was filmmaker Sudhir Mishra who was being beaten. The writer-director has come out to clarify that it wasn’t him and not every guy who has long hair needs to be him.
The video was shared and spread in no time yesterday and it reached the trolls as well. Many even associated it with Mishra being anti establishment and trolled him for the same. One troll even called him an urban naxal.

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 !”

The filmmaker translated the same in Hindi and shared. Further a Twitterati in a good way pointed out that Mishra should not have said anything against the police as they are working for our safety.
