07.04.2020

Pune: A social activist here in Maharashtra has alleged that he and his family were heckled and termed as “anti-national” by a neighbour after they did not switch off lights at 9 pm on Sunday in response to Prime Minister Narendra Modi’s appeal. Siddharth Prabhune took to Twitter to express his grievance and said his family did not switch off lights as he was unwell. His wife Trupti Prabhune said they did not lodge a police complaint in the matter as the security personnel are already busy enforcing the lockdown. PTI
