Video targeting burqa-clad woman shared on social media with text ‘Uda du kya’

A Muslim woman wearing a burqa was reportedly subjected to online harassment after a video of her, filmed without her knowledge, was shared on social media by a woman identified as Muskan Singh from Lucknow.

In the video, Singh appeared to direct attention toward the woman while adding a text reading “Uda du kya,” a laughing face emoji and “Jai Shri Ram.” The post triggered concerns among observers, who said it reflected a growing normalisation of Islamophobic rhetoric in online spaces, Siasat Daily reported.

The footage, shared on Singh’s personal Facebook account, was described as carrying a communal undertone. She was seen glancing toward the burqa-clad woman while the song “Bachana sakega security mein rahke” played in the background, which has reportedly been used in provocative content targeting Muslims by individuals linked to right-wing groups to garner views and likes on social media.

“Dunya ke raja hai hum. Bachna sakega security mein rahke. Yaad rakhiye re me tennu marunga kehke. Uss din hi aaunga, jis din ki boli chowk tere ghar pe bhat kaunga goli. Tere ghar kud me saare marunga goli. Badmashi khatam,” was the song lyrics Singh used in the video. (“I am the king of the world. You cannot be saved even with security while being in security. Remember that I will kill you. I will come only on that day when the words reach your house, when I will fire bullets. I will shoot whoever is at your house. End the mischief.”)

In another clip, Singh added text reading, “Have you noticed anything, Jai Bhavani,” while the woman in the background remained unaware that she was being filmed.
