Bajrang dal workers vandalize shops in Hyderabad’s Gachibowli area (hitech City). The state police, which was so proactive in curbing anti-CAA/NRC protests, couldn’t prevent vandalism from anti-social elements. Video courtesy: @Asifyarrkhan pic.twitter.com/TH6WLYZXiH

Quite surprised that @BajrangdalOrg activists went ahead and destroyed a mall’s assets in #Gachibowli area, which is quite close to the HQ of cyberabad police. Yet no arrests were made. Security blip on Valentines Day in Hyderabad.@cpcybd #ValentinesDay2020 pic.twitter.com/H3O2xNiazS

Why Police Just Become Brutal against Anti CAA Protestors ? pic.twitter.com/2VPIZkz3ES
The @hydcitypolice is useless if they don’t get these guys and don’t make them pay for the damage caused.

I feel ashamed that these goons call themselves #Hindus
Is there any concept of law & order in India?

Bajrang dal activists don’t fear the law.. @KTRTRS , @CPHydCity law n order is a serious concern in Telangana state

I am sure this violence is a manifestation of a lack of love in their own.

Who the fuck will make time to actually go do this when you can actually be with a special someone? Actually a Sanghi may.
Honest admission: Have not celebrated with a special one in a long time now.
@hydcitypolice what is this happening in Hyderabad? How are you allowing this?

No case has been registered so far by the Hyderabad Police, but they are investigating the videos doing rounds on social media.
