“Even if @YouTube doesn’t delete it, then the @Uppolice shall take legal action against the platform itself.”
Mohammed Zubair of fact-checking website Alt News also wrote,
“Just saw a few videos of a girl claiming to be ‘Heer Khan’ abusing Hindu Gods. Why isn’t @YouTubeIndia taking any action against such hateful YouTubers? Looks like her number is registered in UP east but currently in Bangalore @BltCityPolice.”
