A video showing 22-year-old Anmol Goyal on his knees, begging the police to not take away his mother's oxygen cylinder, has gone viral. The family says the cylinder was theirs.

The mother of a young man – seen in a viral video pleading with Uttar Pradesh police to not confiscate an oxygen cylinder that some men under their escort are seen carting towards a van – passed away hours after the video was shot.

The video from Upadhyay Hospital in Agra shows a young man in a PPE suit down on his knees pleading with the police. On April 28, this video was tweeted by Times of India journalist Deepak Lavania, among others, and was soon shared multiple times.
