'The girl in the car is not me, but is it okay to shame her like that?'

"The girl in the car wasn't me. But whether she was or she wasn't ..was it ok to shame her like that?" said Gurmehar in a tweet on Saturday.

A video went viral on social networking sites like Facebook and WhatsApp showing a girl dancing and singing in a car with a drink in her hand. The video was circulated by some unknown links claiming that the girl in the video is Gurmehar Kaur. The video, which has been retweeted on Twitter and Facebook multiple times shows a girl dancing on the front seat of the car while it is driven by her friend.

According to sources, the video is two years old and the lady seen in the clip is slain Pakistani model Qandeel Baloch, however, the claim is yet to be confirmed.

Two persons, a man and a woman are seen on the rear seat filming the dance of the girl. Later, some drink was offered to the girl as she resumes dancing on Nusrat Fateh Ali Khan's "Mere Rashke Qamar."

The video seems to be a new trolling strategy by a group opposed to Kaur's ideology. Even many educated people fell for the trap and circulated the video thinking it to be of Gurmehar Kaur compelling Kaur for an official denial.

Apparently it seems that the video is shot somewhere in an Arabian country. The steering of the car is on the left hand side unlike India which has it on the right. Even the bottle has something written in Arabic signifying that the video is not shot in India.

Gurmehar Kaur is a 20-year-old student of Lady Sri Ram College of Delhi University whose father Mandeep Singh was a Kargil martyr.

Kaur was attacked and trolled after a social media post in which she batted for peace between India and Pakistan. She was threatened with rape after her post, in which she had said: "Pakistan did not kill my father. War did," and that went viral. Later, after violence erupted in DU, she went back to her home in Jalandhar and did not join the protests.
