Due to a shortage of oxygen cylinders and a rise in the number of COVID-19 cases, several people have been posting their needs for resources on social media. From ICU bed leads to oxygen cylinder needs, people from across the country have been relying on Twitter, Facebook as well as WhatsApp to save the lives of their loved ones.

While on one side, the internet is filled with messages of grit for one another, there are some people who refuse to shy away from taking undue advantage of others.

My friend’s sister like my baby sister was asked by a neighbour in an elite colony to sleep with him for an oxygen cylinder that she desperately needed for her father;

What action can be taken because the b* will obviously deny, no?#HumanityIsDead

A similar incident came to light recently when a woman from Delhi took to Twitter and narrated her ordeal. The woman claimed that her friend's sister was asked for sex in return for an oxygen cylinder.

The Delhi-based Twitter user wrote, "My friend's sister was asked by a neighbour in an elite colony to sleep with him for an oxygen cylinder that she desperately needed for her father. "

Shocked after reading the tweet, netizens expressed their outrage and urged the woman to lodge a complaint against the accused. Some of the users suggested complainant to the Resident Welfare Association (RWA) of the locality while others named the suspect and shamed him.

Another similar incident came to light on April 14 when a medical coordinator allegedly outraged the modesty of a COVID-19 patient in Andheri. The woman was quarantined at a hotel. The accused allegedly made an attempt to molest the woman and demanded sexual favours from her.
