Fact checker and co-founder of Alt News, Mohammed Zubair on Monday, called out the multi-media news agency ANI for following school girls in Bengaluru to click their pictures while removing the Burka inside the school premises.

Why is @ANI following the girls to click their pics removing the Burka inside the school premises? This is pure harrasment. Shameless Journalism by so called 'South Asia's Leading multimedia news agency'. https://t.co/8D4tPGYoaF
