As millions across India observed Prime Minister Narendra Modi's call for lighting lamps and candles on Sunday night in solidarity against coronavirus, a BJP leader in Uttar Pradesh, Manju Tiwari, decided to be different. In a video that has been widely shared, the BJP leader is seen firing a shot in the air to the sound of cheering.
The Uttar Pradesh Police has filed a First Information Report against Manju Tiwari for her version of the #9pm9minute event to show unity in the fight against coronavirus.
After the act, she even shared the video, allegedly filmed by her husband, on her Facebook page, with the caption: "Deep Jalane Ke Baad, Coronavirus bhagate hue (After lighting lamps, sending coronavirus away)."
