¡°There is a so-called fact-checker who has started to vitiate the atmosphere by putting out a heavily edited and selected video from one of my debates last night. Ever since I¡¯ve been receiving death and rape threats, including beheading threats against me and family members,¡± Nupur Sharma told ANI on Friday.

¡°I¡¯ve tagged the Police Commissioner and Delhi Police. I suspect there¡¯ll be harm done to me and my immediate family members. In case there¡¯s any harm done to me or my family members Mohammed Zubair, who I think is a proprietor of Alt News, is completely responsible,¡± she stated.
"If I was wrong, then the fact-checkers should rectify the facts, rather than sending death threats to me. Please come forward and correct the facts. It¡¯s not right, it¡¯s completely illegal. He (Zubair) is not a fact-checker, he is a fake-spreader,¡± she added.
Further, Nupur said that she is collating all the threats against her and will file a complaint in the matter.
