Bollywood actress Swara Bhasker, responding to Sadhguru's
"liberals are fanatics remark, tweeted that "
some ass***** with big caste pride tied men to a jeep, flogged them publicly and recorded it (but Sadhguru says liberals are fanatics).
Soon after, she was attacked on Twitter by many who claimed that the actress abused Major Leetut Gogoi and the Indian army. They assumed that Bhasker was referring to the Kashmir "human shield incident. Among those right wing influencers who attacked her were the ones followed by senior BJP leaders like Smriti Irani, Piyush Goyal's office and BJP IT cell head Amit Malviya
Another user followed by Piyush Goyal's office tweeted an email of a criminal complaint filed by his organisation "India Against Biased Media against Bhasker. The complaint has been filed under IPC Section 124A (sedition).
Her tweet on "ass***** tied men to jeep was not related to Major Gogoi or the Indian army but the 2016 Una flogging where seven members of a Dalit family were tied to a jeep and beaten with iron rods for skinning a dead cow. The actress clarified the same on Twitter after her post was completely misinterpreted.
