Another number 7005750770, where the whatsapp post claims to be saying “Nahi, VC re entry mana kiya hai. Apna VC hai” this number directly pointing to the INCIndia croudfunding number. The INC website is currently not available.
Barkha Dutt, rightly tweeted for the same number highlighting the number again stating, “This message is from a WhatsApp group called 'Unity Against Left' - I've edited out the group because of privacy laws on showing numbers, but the operative message retained : "main gate par kuch karna hai" against those who "support JNU"”
