A JNU ‘student leader’ named Shehla Rashid took to Twitter today to accuse the Gujarat Police of abducting MLA from Gujarat, Jignesh Mevani.
. @jigneshmevani80 abducted by Gujarat police. He was pulled out of the car, his car keys were broken and he was detained by the police while on the way to Ambedkar statue in Sarangpur, Ahmedabad where he was to join a protest reiterating the demands of Dalit martyr Bhanu bhai.

She shared a video of the incident on Twitter too:
Shameful! First they steal land of Dalits, force them to self-immolate, then they misbehave with an elected MLA. https://t.co/ECqaL3FMko

Twitter users who understand Gujarati were quick to point out that it was Jignesh Mevani in fact who was misbehaving with the Police and the Police was merely doing its job, based on the content of the video that was shared:
Elected MLA doesn’t mean he will misbehave with the police.
Policeman are far more respectable people than Jignesh Type, C Grade Politician. Police is doing their Job. Hope they arrest him..https://t.co/96PaHQv7Re— Lol Salam (@TrollLalsalam) February 18, 2018
Your video only goes on to prove what kind of a goon @jigneshmevani80 is. Even with police trying to stop the car he went on barking instructions to drive the car away.
MLA are understood to be lawmakers, not lawbreakers.— BhairaviParag (@BhairaviAshar) February 18, 2018
Policemen is peacefully asking him that you’re not allowed to go in certain area and please co-operate but Jignesh looses temperament and not co-operating

“Tara baap nu gujarat che ?” , “lakhota (testicle), language used by elected MLA.
Ladies & gentlemen @jigneshmevani80 for you !! https://t.co/PW0sElZtAZ— Nobody (@Zaverri) February 18, 2018
Jignesh Mevani is a Congress ally who is known for his uncouth behaviour and unsavoury remarks. He had used derogatory remarks for the Prime Minister in the recent past. He has been involved in inciting violence and fueling casteist sentiments across the country as well.
Shehla Rashid, on the other hand, seems to speak up on every issue, though she has remained silent on Islamists giving her rape and death threats.
