Social media has been flooded with jokes and memes after the business tycoon Vijay Mallya left India without repaying the bank loans worth Rs. 9,000 crores and giving salaries of Kingfisher employees but on Sunday, an incident happened in Mumbai local train which is even beyond everybody’s imagination.
A lady traveler, Premlata Bhansali (44) was going back to her house from Elphinstone station when a lady TC enquired about her ticket at Mahalaxmi station. Premlata was travelling without ticket which would have cost her only Rs. 10 but she was told to pay a fine of Rs. 260. Instead of paying the fine, Premlata demanded to meet the station master. When Premlata was taken to the station master, she started saying that government just harasses poor people and does nothing against businessmen like Vijay Mallya. She started demanding that first they should recover money from Mallya.
The lady kept on repeating the same thing over and over again. What’s more, she even did not let her husband pay the fine and argued for nearly 12 hours. She was called on Tuesday to be produced before the Magistrate.
Talking about Premlata, she herself is not a poor person and lives in tony tower in Bhuleshwar, south Mumbai and her apartment’s cost must be between Rs. 5-7 crore. She is a housewife, has two kids and her husband is a businessman.
Twitter took a jibe at the incident in a hilarious way:

"Arrest #mallya first" should be given official status as an excuse against all felonies in India. https://t.co/DQlcoGPJ3S

True indeed:
If apparently educated and financially well off SoBo residents reach to this heights of whataboutery, what to expect from general masses.

This user too has a valid point:
What stupidity ! Just because Mallya runs away with money, everyone else should stop paying, is it?
