On January 5, during Home Minister Amit Shah’s door-to-door campaign in Delhi, a video went viral on social media, of two women shouting slogans against the citizenship law from the balcony of their apartment in Lajpat Nagar. After Shah left the area, a mob landed at the women’s flat.
Yesterday, multiple reports emerged that the women, Surya Rajappan and her flatmate, had been evicted from their flat. However, Rajappan told Newslaundry that while her landlord had indeed asked her to leave while she was sloganeering, the police later told her the landlord was willing to let her stay. She and her roommate were “too scared” to crosscheck with the landlord, and chose to leave of their own volition.
