Many vegetable and fruit sellers can be seen running away with their carts in the video, as policemen show their anger.
This is plain criminal. Video seems current dated owing to the gloves. In the end we are wasting food. Not to mention the brutality of action.

The police is behaving like servants of rich and politicians.
They can exhibit their power and frustration only on poor and common people!!!😡😡

A similar incident happened in Delhi earlier, when a police officer was suspended after he was found damaging vegetable carts in the city.
