In a 4-minute-long video shared on social media platform X, Mir detailed the interrogation she faced, lamenting that she was treated as a "Brand Smuggler" by the customs officials.

The Kashmiri activist's post quickly garnered attention online, with netizens offering mixed reactions. While some defended the actions of the customs officials, citing their duty to uphold regulations, others expressed sympathy for Yana, citing similar experiences.
