Karolina Goswami, a Polish YouTuber based in India, has alleged that she was attacked and threatened by Dhruv Rathee fans and released a video showing herself walking with two security guards.
"We fear nothing. We will continue living in India,” wrote in the video, which has received over 4.5 million views on Instagram. In the clip she is seen walking with her two children as men dressed in black walk alongside her.
Karolina Goswami has claimed that she received over 220 threats from Dhruv Rathee's fans in May after she analysed some of his YouTube videos, claiming to expose his "anti-India propaganda."
Goswami had called out Germany-based Dhruv Rathee on her YouTube channel "Indian In Details" for spreading fake news and demanded that he be banned from social media. She claimed that after she shared these videos, Dhruv Rathee's fans targeted her and her family and shared screenshots of the alleged rape threats she received.
