New Delhi: A woman in a burqa was whisked away on Wednesday by police at Delhi’s Shaheen Bagh – the heart of protests against the Citizenship Amendment Act (CAA) – after her presence in the area raised suspicion.
The woman is recognized as Gunja Kapoor who raised suspicion when she kept asking “too many questions” said, eyewitnesses. Some agitators insisted on frisking her and found a camera. This led to a commotion and she was caught by many women. Later, the police came to the protest area and took her away.
Gunja Kapoor, who is described herself as the YouTube channel ‘Right Narrative’, is followed by Prime Minister Narendra Modi and BJP leader Tejasvi Surya on Twitter. When questioned by reporters why she was carrying a camera, Gunja flipped and said: “This is not media’s hot moment. Go!”.
A group of women caught her and questioned about her identity. “When asked, she said she is from Lucknow. We immediately asked her why she was filming the protests here when similar agitation was happening there also. She had no answer.
Gunja Kapoor was also asked if she was from the media, to which also she said ‘no’. She was faking her identity and filming us without our permission,” one woman said.
