Although he died on Friday, people only learned about the incident on Saturday when one of his friends filed a police complaint and six people were arrested. With #TribalLivesMatter, netizens have sparked a social media uproar, asking people to speak up for justice for Bheel.Drawing a comparison with the death of George Floyd, an African-American man who was murdered by a police officer during an arrest, some netizens recalled how numerous Indian celebs had voiced their anger and demanded justice for Floyd.
