Fake: Man in burqa held for waving Pakistan flag is not an RSS activist

New Delhi, Aug 17: A video of a man removing his burqa in front of policemen has gone viral on social media.

A report in NTV Telugu said that the burqa-clad man was arrested by the Andhra Pradesh police for smuggling liquor from Telangana. This incident took place at the Panchalingala check post in Kurnool district of Andhra Pradesh.
