Hard Kaur took to Facebook and Instagram to call out the two men for their problematic history. While these posts are a bit intense, this crackdown is part of a larger trend to crackdown on dissent within India. The investigation is being handed over to Crime Branch’s Surveillance Cell. This is a developing story.
