TMC MP Mahua Moitra has shared a video claiming that BJP goons are threatening fish vendors near a temple in CR Park, a posh locality in Delhi with predominantly Bengali residents.
In another post, she shared a WhatsApp message that said fish and meat shops have been closed for several days in the area.
However, in a video shared by journalist Shivam Singh, taken from the same temple and adjacent fish market, the priests and local vendors are seen saying them that nobody has threatened them and asked to shut down their shops, and the shops and the temple are functional as usual.

“Mahua pagal hai. She wants to be famous. No such thing has happened. Nobody has threatened”, said a local.
The priest also denied any such threats or demands to shut down shops. Singh then asked local fish vendors who were selling fish in the adjacent market. They also denied any such threat or rumours of shutting down. “Nobody has asked to shut down our shops”, a vendor added.
