A family’s simple trip to Sunder Nursery, located in Nizamuddin, South Delhi, turned into a moment of shock and anger when their specially-abled child was reportedly denied access to a swing.

More on the shocking video of a guard denying access of a swing to the child.

In the video, the guard can be heard making a deeply insensitive comment saying, “Iskadimaagtheeknahihai (She is not of sound mind).” Other parents at the park reportedly stepped in after witnessing the incident. They questioned the guards and argued that no child should be denied access to public spaces because of a disability. According to the mother, tensions escalated quickly. She claimed that the guards “ganged up” on them when they resisted and asked them to leave the park. The Instagram video captured the distressing scene, showing raised voices and a tense atmosphere. In the video, a man is heard highlighting a larger concern, saying there are around 2.5 lakh specially-abled children in Delhi, and these guards are saying that such children should not be allowed to use the swing.

One user reacted, “This is so unnecessarily stressful for both the child and the parent.” Another expressed, “I think the disability here is not with the Child but with those People who have made this Rule. Irony is Pets are allowed but not the Children Wow👏” A third person wrote, “This is beyond shocking. Need jail terms for those denying these kids the basic rights.” One more commented, “See how it slowly slips from animals to humans ..!! Harmony and coexistence are a societal issue. If we don’t protect that, then this is what happens.”
