Bengali actress Swastika Mukherjee who was once caught shoplifting in Singapore has now become a prominent face of an anti-citizenship amendment act (CAA) campaign in Bengal.

As reported by Press Trust of India, Mukherjee along with other members of the Bengali entertainment industry including Dhritiman Chatterjee, Sabyasachi Chakraborty, Konkona Sen Sharma, Nandana Sen, Suman Mukhopadhyay and Rupam Islam have come out and opposed CAA, NRC.

As part of the protest, they release a video titled, “Kagoj Amra Dekhabona (we won’t show our papers)”, in a bid to assert that they will not present their identification documents if the government asks them to prove their citizenship.

After the campaign was publicised, many on social media recalled the controversial past of Swastika Mukherjee wherein she was caught shoplifting gold earrings in Singapore.
