The Twitter account Nafeesa Ahmed (@Dasettan1)<\/a> was created in February this year. The person behind the handle is a devout and vocal supporter of Prime Minister Modi.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

However, a bulk of the tweets by this account are meant to offend those critical of the PM – a ‘vibrator’ joke to attack actor Swara Bhaskar or a tweet terming the men of Congress ‘transgenders’.<\/p>\n

MEHBOOBA MUFTI’S DAUGHTER’S PHOTO USED AS PROFILE PICTURE<\/h2>\n

The profile picture of ‘Nafeesa Ahmed’ is a photograph of Iltija Javed, the daughter of former J&K Chief Minister Mehbooba Mufti. The same image was used by BBC Hindi<\/a>\u00a0<\/em>in an August 2019 broadcast where the channel spoke to Iltija Javed in a telephonic conversation regarding her mother’s detention after dilution of Article 370.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

There are several other interviews<\/a> of Iltija Javed available online.<\/p>\n

WHO IS THE PERSON BEHIND ‘NAFEESA AHMED’?<\/h2>\n

The person behind the handle is not a woman but a man. He has uploaded multiple pictures of himself on the account.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

The man has also uploaded several videos of himself on Twitter. In one such video, he introduces himself as “Prem from Mumbai.”<\/p>\n

Furthermore, the official Twitter handle of HDFC Bank had referred to him as ‘Prem’ in a March 2019 tweet, suggesting that he was using the handle with his own name before changing it to ‘Nafeesa Ahmad’.<\/p>\n

A PM Modi supporter from Mumbai is posing as a Muslim woman on Twitter by using a photograph of Mehbooba Mufti’s daughter, Iltija Javed. Despite the former Chief Minister calling out the impersonation<\/a>, Prem has neither taken down Javed’s image or used his own name.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
