Reacting to the FIR, Payal’s lawyer said, “Since the morning there is news in the media about my client Payal Rohatgi. We have not got any information or notice related to the FIR.” She went to add that Payal’s social media accounts have been untouched since she was detained in 2019 stating that not a single video has been uploaded since then. Her words were, “From that last video till now, she hasn’t made any controversial video, nor posted any video”.
