Delhi Crowd Loots Mangoes Worth Thousands From Street Vendor

[aryadravida]

New Delhi:
A crisis, it is often said, brings out the best and worst in people. Delhi's worst was laid bare on Wednesday when dozens of men - passers-by, auto drivers and just about anybody - pounced upon crates of mangoes left unattended by a street vendor and robbed it clean in a nauseating display of inhumanity in the country's capital.

According to Chhote, a fruit-seller in north Delhi's Jagatpuri area, the incident took place after a fight broke out in the neighbourhood, at a time when law enforcement agencies are supposed to be on heightened alert to enforce the nationwide COVID-19 lockdown.

"They had a fight over there, near the school. A group of men came here and asked me to move my theli (push cart)," he said on Thursday.




Seeing his crates lying unguarded, some people in the area passing by decided to take advantage of the situation. Two, four, six - everyone scooped up whatever they could carry.

The video of the incident, recorded by a witness and widely shared on social media, showed

Riders put mangoes in their helmets. Others called out like hawkers, encouraging everyone to help themselves. The incident caused a small traffic jam in the area, the video showed.

"I had 15 crates of mangoes here worth about Rs 30,000. They took everything," Chhote said.



Business has been slow because of the coronavirus lockdown and this incident has practically broken his back, the fruit-seller said.

Chhote said he has filed a complaint with the police but they have not taken any action yet.



The incident comes amid reports of violations of coronavirus restrictions in several parts of the country. The Union Home Ministry, which controls the Delhi Police, on Thursday sent out a memo to all states asking them to be vigilant and not let people break the rules.

A few days back migrant workers who were travelling back by train broke a wending machine and looted all the snacks and soft drinks.
I hate to say this ...but north india is one of the less civilised places in the world(including some countries that share culture with north india..)

Surely this is Modi's fault.

 

[halupridol]

It's a cultural thing.
Jiska jo culture.
Google "nghah lou dawr".
N see cultural difference.

Self preservation is the first law of nature. If people have no resources to acquire necessities they will steal if possible. Even the most civilized will degenerate in a serious crisis. Did you not see vids of westerners fighting over toilet paper.

If you were hungry and your children dyeing of starvation.........you will steal if possible. I have no doubt.

The Delhi state government must reimburse this man.

Here possibly the migrants were hungry. As per what I have seen on TV, many of them had only biscuits or namkeen to eat. Also, the railway ministry made them pay for the journey so they didn't have enough money anyway.

From the OP it doesn't seem that the looters were hungry.

I don't deny that but that doesn't seem to be the situation here.

So those guys stole mangoes because of "mismanaged lock-down" ?

That is a new one for the courts

LIES. Shame on you for Lying.

NO Tickets were sold by Railways to Migrants. They were offered TICKET for free.

But the tickets were handed over to state govt. officials since they provided the name of migrants interested in travelling along with destination.

So any money if charged was charged By the State govt.

Especially those of Rajasthan and Maharashtra.

Is there a special reason why you mentioned those two states ?

Is it because of their Congress governments ?

As far as I know those are the states who charged the migrants for tickets.

And yes, they are CONgress ruled.

Now is their a special reason why you LIED about the railways charging money from the migrants ?
