Letter to BS: Looting of mangoes shows how inhuman we have become

It is believed that a crisis can bring out the best and the worst in people. An example of the latter was seen recently in Delhi when many passers-by robbed a mango vendor in broad daylight. A video shows just about everyone around looting unattended crates of mangoes belonging to a fruit seller, after a fight broke out in the neighbourhood. The vendor was asked by people to move his cart, but seeing his crates unguarded, people took advantage of the situation and took as many mangoes from the crates as they could carry. Riders put mangoes in their helmets.
