Even delivery guys are facing police brutality. People took to Twitter to share how delivery boys involved in delivering essentials like food to people have been injured after being beaten up by police in places like Delhi and Mumbai.
Ecommerce players were forced to cancel/reschedule lakhs of orders for essential goods, food, groceries medicines on Sunday as local authorities and the police ordered them to shut warehouses, blocked trucks carrying supplies, @Alnoor_ET https://t.co/eeHkFQRG62

These people are working just like doctors, nurses and sanitation workers as they have no options. Online delivery portals like Groffers, Milk Basket, Zomato etc. are supposed to work amid lockdown so that people can have access to food and other essentials.
Yes, there are strict guidelines for people to not step out and even the police like a few other professions cannot work from home, but harassment of people who are essential for the functioning of society right now is appalling. People strolling out for no reason at all should be punished but is caning them the answer?
While there are these horrifying cases of severe treatment by police there are instances where police is resorting to other methods of punishment.
This is superb from the @MumbaiPolice !

We cannot support brutality in the name of curbing disobedience.
