She said that local people she talked to are saying that RSS members along with police and local leaders are attacking Muslim localities. She alleged that cars and houses are being burnt. “Remember the initial days of Gujarat 2002,” she tried to sensationalise. In 2002, 59 Hindus were burnt alive in Sabarmati Express coach in Godhra. The ones who died were karsevaks, returning from Ayodhya.

Further, asking her to act responsibly, UP Police asked her to share verifiable evidence of what she was claiming so that the police could look into the matter.
Smouldering over her lies being called out, Ayyub then tried to obfuscate the matter by saying how such denial can come only from the UP Police.

Not taking things lying down, the UP Police further asked her for specific proof instead of using metaphors.
