A Twitter user on Tuesday posted a tweet alleging that a girl had been propositioned even as she sought to procure an oxygen cylinder for her father.
We get to see, hear and read about a lot of shocking real-life incidents on social media and this is one such incident where we see humanity losing during the pandemic times.
Even as the second wave of the COVID-19 pandemic has brought out the best of people, there has been no dearth of reports of extorting abnormal amounts for oxygen cylinders and medicines, selling fake medicines and oxygen, charging exorbitant rates for ambulances and private hospital beds, and much more from patients' families.
But here is an incident that will bring humanity to shame. A Twitter user on Tuesday posted a tweet on the social media platform alleging that a person she knew 'like a baby sister' had been propositioned even as she desperately sought to procure an oxygen cylinder for her ailing father.
"My friend's sister was asked by a neighbour in an elite colony to sleep with him for an oxygen cylinder that she desperately needed for her father," the user alleged, asking netizens what action could be taken against the offender.
People are shocked and outraged by this post with many urging the user to register a police complaint at the earliest. Some suggested filing a complaint with the Resident Welfare Association of the colony in question, while some suggested naming and shaming the individual.
However, many were also of the opinion that since it was a conversation between two people, anything to prove it would not be possible. The user who shared the post was also of the same belief.
Earlier, a Mumbai-based woman faced harassment, unsolicited messages, calls, and disturbingly graphic images after sharing her phone number online to procure plasma for a COVID-19 positive family member.
