Left high and dry by the lockdown, migrants desperate to go home are now being looted by people in cars and by autorickshaw and taxi drivers. Focussing only on reaching home, they cannot even afford to go file a complaint.

Police stationed at check nakas have been getting more and more such complaints from harried walkers. Many migrants are trying to reach Thane, from where they are taking buses to reach the Maharashtra-Madhya Pradesh border. However, the looters have made the trip to the suburb perilous.
