New Delhi: In a bizarre yet shocking incident, a woman disguised as a Muslim in a burqa and reached Delhi’s Shaheen Bagh to film the protests that have been happening in the area for close to two months against the Citizenship Amendment Act.

Locals busted activist Gunja Kapoor when they spotted her videographing the agitation without any affiliation to any media organisation.

A group of women cornered her and questioned her of her real identity. “When asked, she said she is from Lucknow. We immediately asked her why she was filming the protests here when similar demonstrations were happening there also. She had no answer. Then we asked her 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.

So now the BJP sent @gunjakapoor in Burqa to Shaheenbagh to create fake propaganda videos to not only defame the women protestors but to create unrest before the elections.

Who is Gunja Kapoor?

Gunja is a YouTuber who claims to be the curator of the YouTube channel 'Right Narrative' on her official Twitter handle. To everyone's surprise, Kapoor is followed by Prime Minister Narendra Modi on Twitter.

Shaheen Bagh protest

Hundreds of people, including women and children, have been sitting on an indefinite protest in Delhi's Shaheen Bagh area for over a month now against the Citizenship (Amendment) Act and the proposed nationwide implementation of National Register of Citizens (NRC). The area has become the epicentre of ​protests against the CAA and NRC.
