BJP leader Nupur Sharma receives rape and death threats after Alt News co-founder peddles fake narrative against her

New Delhi, May 28: Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) national spokesperson Nupur Sharma has been receiving multiple rape and death threats on the social media platform - Twitter. This came after Alt News co-founder Mohammed Zubair shared her video with a fake narrative due to which several netizens attacked her on Twitter.

 

 

 

Sharing the threats, Nupur tweeted, “@DelhiPolice@CPDelhi I am getting continuous death and beheading threats against my family and myself which are egged on by @zoo_bear because of his attempts to incite communal passions and vitiate the atmosphere by building a fake narrative. Attaching a few pics. Please note.”

 

 

 

In its reply to the tweet, the Delhi police said, "The matter has been forwarded to the concerned officials for necessary action. You will be contacted shortly."

 

 

In another tweet hours later, the BJP leader said that she was being bombarded "with rape, death and beheading threats against my sister, mother, father" and herself. "I’ve communicated same to Delhi police," she tweeted.

 

 

 

 

"If anything untoward happens to me or any of my family members, Delhi Police please note wholly & solely Mohammed Zubair is responsible who instead of ‘fact-checking’ peddled a fake-narrative to vitiate the atmosphere, cause communal disharmony & cause communal & targeted hatred against me & my family," she added.

 

 

Alt News co-founder Mohammed Zubair had allegedly took the chunk of the video of Times Now where Nupur Sharma talked about other religions referring to Islamic beliefs, and shared it on Twitter calling her 'communal hatemonger'. He tweeted an 86-second clip from a television news debate on the Gyanvapi mosque case in which Sharma made a remark on Prophet Muhammad’s marriage.
