Delhi Cop Stops Street Artist from Playing in Connaught Place, Gets Flak on Twitter

When wandering around the streets of Delhi, artists and musicians, singing and playing music make the city even more delightful. There are often times when people gather around to listen to these people. However, a recently video which is currently going viral shows a cop bashing one of such artists and asking him to move away. Uploaded on Twitter by user Rajesh Thailang, the video is a very short one in which you can see a police man can be seen asking the musician to get up and move away. The musician can be seen holding his guitar and sitting on the floor.

There is also a crowd surrounding the man. Both of them can be seen arguing in the video. “Watched this clip on Instagram.

@DelhiPolice this is not done. These artists make our delhi more aesthetical, musical. Shame !!!” read the caption. Have a look at the video.

Since uploaded, the video has managed to gather nearly 155K views. “So many cities across the world have artists playing up on the streets and they are appreciated and never bothered by the Govt. Authorities or Police. Sadly, in India all the restrictions are imposed on common man or artists and not on Politicians spewing venom in Public. Shame!” wrote a Twitter user. Another person wrote, “They’re much better than beggars. They make our street journey enjoyable. We shouldn’t treat them like this. Chances are high that these are non income source unlike beggars.”

One person wrote, “In European countries it is common seen performing music in public. But in India neither we fallow their civic rules nor we implemented our own norms. In Europe we do not see any pet dog poof and spiting’s on streets, they fallow the norms set strictly to keep clean streets !”
