A woman donning a burqa was taken into custody at Delhi's Shaheen Bagh after anti-CAA protesters caught her asking "too many questions", police said.
The woman, a YouTuber, has been identified as Gunja Kapoor, said the police.
She describes herself as the curator of YouTube channel 'Right Narrative' on her official Twitter handle.
According to police, the protesters turned suspicious after the woman asked "too many questions" to them.
She was caught by some of the women protesters after they identified her as YouTuber Kapoor. The incident led to a commotion at Shaheen Bagh, the epicentre of protests against the Citizenship Amendment Act (CAA), a senior police official said.
She was then taken to Sarita Vihar police station where her identity was ascertained.
She is followed by prime minister Narendra Modi and BJP MP Tejaswi Surya.
Many took to Twitter expressing outrage over wearing burqa and filming.
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.
