Meant to uphold the dignity of the elderly, an old age home has been allegedly doing exactly the opposite. A video of an elderly woman being beaten up in an old age home has gone viral on social media and a member of the Aam Aadmi Party, who had received it, immediately tweeted to the Thane Rural District Police attaching the video and demanding action. Rajeev Singh, joint secretary, Thane region, AAP youth wing, also called up the local police on receiving the video but did not get any response and therefore began campaigning to garner public support against the inhuman act.

More than 12,000 people have seen the video so far and around 450 have shared it on their social media pages but no action has been taken against the accused or the old age home yet. Singh is thus trying to create awareness about the incident and urging people to become alert citizens and report such incidents. The video was allegedly recorded at the Aadhar Old Age home situated in Mira Road by a person residing in the neighbouring building earlier this week. He then sent it to a member of the Aam Aadmi Party.
