Influencer Nimisha Verma booked after threatening Right-wing influencers, urging followers to compile family details

Delhi-based influencer and self-described trauma healer Nimisha Verma has come under scrutiny after her Instagram Stories allegedly urged followers to compile details of right-wing influencers and their family members.

Screenshots of the posts, which began circulating around October 12, show Verma asking people to prepare and share PDFs containing names, photographs, social media handles and details of the families of right-wing influencers.

 

In one of the posts, she reportedly wrote, “We are going to handle them individually now one by one,” adding that it was only a matter of a few months.

 

The remarks triggered a backlash on social media, with critics accusing her of encouraging targeted intimidation and raising concerns about the possible misuse of personal information.

 

The screenshots also show her urging followers to document what she described as problematic statements made by right-wing voices for possible future use.

 

 

Verma's reported Instagram Stories also referred to a possible change in the political landscape, including a future in which the government would fall and mainstream media would be reclaimed.

 

In another post, she reportedly expressed a desire for revenge against journalists and influencers whom she accused of spreading propaganda.

 

She specifically mentioned Republic TV editor-in-chief Arnab Goswami and said she wanted to see him “slippered in public.” Another post reportedly referred to learning Braille while invoking the phrase “an eye for an eye.”

 

The remarks have intensified criticism of the influencer, particularly over the references to revenge and the collection of family details.

 

 

On October 15, posts by social media accounts, including Megh Updates, claimed that Verma had been arrested following the controversy.

 

The claim gained traction, with users sharing screenshots and discussing the alleged police action. Some posts also claimed that her Instagram account had become inaccessible.

 

However, no official confirmation of her arrest or detention was available from Delhi Police at the time of writing.

 

 

Verma describes herself as a trauma healer and has presented herself online as a motivational speaker, personal mentor and practitioner of emotional healing and wellness.

 

Her online persona and public commentary have also attracted attention in political debates. Recent social media discussions surrounding her have included her reactions to a letter written by Umar Khalid, the former Jawaharlal Nehru University student leader who is an accused in the 2020 Delhi riots conspiracy case.

 

In videos reacting to the letter, Verma reportedly spoke about Khalid's circumstances in custody and appeared visibly distressed.

 

Her political commentary and associations have subsequently become part of the wider debate surrounding the latest controversy.

 

 

The episode has renewed questions about the limits of political expression on social media and the distinction between documenting public statements and targeting individuals through personal information.

 

Many argue that calls to compile family details, combined with language about dealing with people individually, raise serious concerns about privacy and potential intimidation.

 

However, collecting relatives' personal details raises concerns that go beyond monitoring public commentary.

 

 

As of October 15, 2026, the reported arrest of Nimisha Verma remained unconfirmed. No verified police statement or court record establishing her arrest in connection with the Instagram Stories was available for this report.

 

The controversy has continued to generate discussion online, but the status of any police complaint, FIR or investigation remains unclear.
