It is that time of the week again, when we look at the viral videos from the internet. Ever since the world is going through a global health crisis that forced people to stay indoors, social media has become a big saviour for most of us. We tend to scroll on our Instagram, Twitter and Facebook more than ever. The internet has now become a strong place to voice opinions, share some laughter and all the trending updates. For viral videos of this week, we have seen clips that garnered mixed reactions online. On the one hand, we have the Chilean dog, ‘Flash,’ who has been hailed as a hero for detecting possible signs of life under rubble, a month after Beirut explosion. While on the other hand, we saw a Kannada actress, Samyuktha Hegde who was attacked for wearing a sports outfit at a park in Bangalore. Without any further delay, let us check this week’s viral videos that created a buzz from the internet.

Video 1 and 2, you can see the lady clearly (kavitha reddy) charging at my friend and attempting to hit her Video 3: after she tried to assault my friend, when we were waiting for the police to arrive some People in the park who knew her started supporting her and playing moral police and asking us if it is our culture to wear sports wear Video 4: this man in the red checkered shirt and about 10 men with her arrived right before the police did and started threatening us. His name is Anil, and you can clearly hear him threatening me. In my line of work even false news is enough to destroy my career and he threatened me exactly of that and the police stood there and just watched. This is when i decided to go live and have our side of the story put out there in the open After being in a democracy and following all the norms of social distancing, we were abused and ridiculed by Kavitha Reddy and the mob in Agara Lake for practicing our hoolahoop while wearing sportswear. Despite being polite and trying to solve the problem, the lady hit my friend and used disparaging remarks about me and my friends Was extremely disappointed with how the police who came to the location behaved , like nothing was wrong and spoke to her with respect while asked us to be quite. The cops stood there while her mob harassed us and even after requesting the police continuously, they decided to stand there and support this (proof on igtv) Yesterday was really hard and it was so disturbing to go through this When we went to the police station, everyone there already knew her and spoke to her nicely and saw us like we were wrong. The only police who spoke to us with some respect and told her she was wrong was the inspector is the hsr police station muni reddy, he asked us both to file our respective complaints and he left. We wrote the complaint and gave it to the police. The police present there refused to give us an acknowledgement for the same. Its not easy being strong around people who are trying to break you, and having to listen to so many people harass us for doing nothing. THIS IS JUST WRONG I request you all for your support 💛 @blrcitypolice #thisiswrong #punishkavithareddy
