Pepper spray incident at Delhi protest involving influencer and activist
During a protest in Delhi, an incident occurred where a nationalist Instagram influencer, identified as Molly (also referred to as Mauleswari), was pepper-sprayed by an individual described as a "radical leftist cockroach aunty." The influencer, who runs the Instagram page "politicallymoule" and is identified as Mouleswari Pandian Thevar, was reportedly seeking proof related to alleged vote rigging. The protest was associated with the Cockroach Janta Party (CJP). Separately, leaders of the Cockroach Janta Party have accused the Modi government of "waging war" on its own citizens.
