Netizens furious over this case

Internet users criticised the incident and urged harsh punishment for the criminals after the incident came to light. One user said, “Now even the Delhiites know how the Yamuna Dolphins felt, when they had to swim in the filth thrown by Delhi’s humans.”

“And due that decision many life’s were saved from the virus, but that was not the only effect of the lockdown, our mother nature also revived, river Yamuna got cleaned up automatically and if I m not wrong even dolphin were seen in it, and the air condition also got better,” the third user added.
