- Reporting from Jaipur on Feb 23, Jully alleged that Sukhbir Singh Jaunapuria took back a blanket from a Muslim woman after asking her religion during a distribution in Tonk district.
- In a purported video clip, witnesses said blankets were withdrawn after organisers learned recipients were Muslim, and Jaunapuria said, `Listen to me, those who abuse Modi have no right to take` during the Ajmer visit on February 28.
- A circulating video shows Sukhbir Singh Jaunapuria asking aides not to give blankets to women and facing confrontation, while he later shared an edited version with unclear recording date.
- Political leaders condemned the act, with Harish Chandra Meena calling it `shameful and inhuman` and Sachin Pilot describing it as `extremely reprehensible and unfortunate`.
- The episode raises legal and dignity concerns as Tikaram Jully called the conduct highly condemnable and advocates said discrimination violates constitutional rights while victims said organisers boasted.
