Commenting on the viral video, a user wrote on X, “India’s justice system has become weak. The justice system needs to be changed. If it is not changed, the situation will remain the same. The rotten justice system is being sustained by money.”
Other users on X wrote that strict actions should be taken against the people.
“This is a big mistake of Uttar Pradesh administration,” another user wrote.
“This is the situation everywhere, there is no hearing, you must have got Rs. 50,000 from now on, this is the rate nowadays for filing FIR and writing false reports, there is a rate card in whole UP, the paan vendors outside the police station, the hoteliers, all of them have banks, they get their accounts after the work is done, it is bitter for all of them but this is the truth,” the third user commented.
A section of users on X claimed that the groups involved in the clash belonged to Bhangel.
