protests at Chennai, a Pakistan link emerges\n\nIndia\n\noi-Vicky Nanjappa\n\nChennai, Jan 01: A woman anti-CAA protester here has come under the scanner of the police after her social media profile shed light on her role as a researcher with a Pakistan body, a top official said on Wednesday.\n\nA probe would be carried out to ascertain whether the woman, Gayatri Khandhadai, has links to Pakistan-based \"Bytes for All\", Chennai Police Commissioner A K Viswanathan told reporters.\n\nPolice sources told PTI that the woman protester has been a part of a slew of agitations held in the city against the Citizenship Amendment Act (CAA) and was also associated with the 'kolam' demonstrations.\n\nShe was present at the Madras University premises as well when the students there protested against the citizenship law last month, they said.\n\nChennai Police briefly detains 7 people for drawing anti-CAA, NRC rangoli on streets\n\nDwelling on her background, Viswanathan said Khandhadai has the support of local outfits in Tamil Nadu including an NGO. \"If you look at her Facebook profile, she says that she is a researcher at Bytes for All, Pakistan,\" the senior police official said adding this body seemed to be linked to the Association of All Pakistan Citizen Journalists. The extent and nature of the protester's \"Pakistani connection,\" and \"what,\" it is all about will be probed, he said.\n\nNEWS AT NOON JAN 2nd, 2020\n\nA check will be done to find out if there is any other \"information,\" about her, he said. He clarified that none were arrested or detained for drawing 'kolam,' (rangoli) in Besant Nagar here days ago.\n\nViswanathan maintained police personnel had to intervene when an elderly resident there objected when protesters drew words opposing CAA (alongside a kolam already drawn up by his family members) in front of his house.\n\nThe commissioner also released video clips to substantiate his claim that police had to intervene after the resident's objection. The clip shows an elderly man asking why the words were drawn up (by protesters) and a woman bringing a bucket of water from inside the house and erasing it.\n\nCAA: Students from North East protest in Chennai\n\nOn Sunday, police had said eight people, including five women, were picked up for holding the protest without permission and causing inconvenience to others but were later let off.\n\nDMK president M K Stalin has hit out at the AIADMK government for the police action, saying the detained persons were only exercising their right to protest.\n\nThe group of women who drew rangoli against the CAA had called on Stalin on Monday at the party headquarters here to thank him for supporting them.", "keywords": [], "meta_keywords": [""], "tags": ["chennai", "Narendra Modi", "protests", "pakistan", "woman", "police", "citizenship bill", "Happy New Year 2020", "Reviews"], "authors": ["Oi-Vicky Nanjappa"], "publish_date": "Thu Jan  2 07:40:34 2020", "summary": "", "article_html": "", "meta_description": "A woman anti-CAA protester here has come under the scanner of the police after her social media profile shed light on her role as a researcher with a Pakistan body, a top official said on Wednesday.", "meta_lang": "en", "meta_favicon": "/favicon.ico", "meta_data": {"headline": "In the anti citizenship law protests at Chennai, a Pakistan link emerges", "description": "A woman anti-CAA protester here has come under the scanner of the police after her social media profile shed light on her role as a researcher with a Pakistan body, a top official said on Wednesday.", "news_keywords": "anti citizenship law, protests, chennai, pakistan, woman, police", "article": {"published_time": "2020-01-02T07:40:34+05:30", "author": "Vikash Aiyappa", "modified_time": "2020-01-02T17:33:15+05:30", "publisher": "https://www.facebook.com/oneindianews"}, "Generator": "Greynium CMS", "og": {"title": "In the anti citizenship law protests at Chennai, a Pakistan link emerges", "description": "A woman anti-CAA protester here has come under the scanner of the police after her social media profile shed light on her role as a researcher with a Pakistan body, a top official said on Wednesday.", "url": "https://www.oneindia.com/india/in-the-anti-citizenship-law-protests-at-chennai-a-pakistan-link-emerges-3006955.html", "image": "https://www.oneindia.com/img/2019/12/cab-protest19-1577178378.jpg", "site_name": "https://www.oneindia.com", "type": "article"}, "fb": {"app_id": 360702693956899, "pages": 134436833258826}, "twitter": {"card": "summary_large_image", "site": "@oneindia", "app": {"name": {"iphone": "Oneindia News"}}, "image": "https://www.oneindia.com/img/2019/12/cab-protest19-1577178378.jpg?02012020195931", "title": "In the anti citizenship law protests at Chennai, a Pakistan link emerges", "url": "https://www.oneindia.com/india/in-the-anti-citizenship-law-protests-at-chennai-a-pakistan-link-emerges-3006955.html?02012020195931", "description": "A woman anti-CAA protester here has come under the scanner of the police after her social media profile shed light on her role as a researcher with a Pakistan body, a top official said on Wednesday.", "creator": "Oneindia", "domain": "https://www.oneindia.com"}, "DC.date.issued": "2020-01-02T17:33:15+05:30", "robots": "index, follow"}, "canonical_link": "https://www.oneindia.com/india/in-the-anti-citizenship-law-protests-at-chennai-a-pakistan-link-emerges-3006955.html"}
