Mumbai police's new order to not venture beyond a 2-km radius from home and impounding of vehicles that do has brought troubling times for Mumbaikars.

Bhagyesh Raut, a fashion photographer is a Jogeshwari East resident. On Sunday afternoon, Raut was going to the market near his house when policemen stopped him and confiscated his bike. When Raut asked why his bike is being seized, he was only told that he will get it back in three days. Raut was frightened by the police's sudden action. "The market is 500 metres from my house. Police did not even check my license while seizing the bike," Raut said.
