A picture of former JNU Student Union president, Kanhaiya Kumar, has surfaced on the internet in which he can be seen with a shoe tied to his face.
The caption in Hindi read: “अब तो यह वायरस भी.. चीनी वायरस से डरने लगा मतलब स्थिति बहुत गम्भीर है मित्रों”
(Translation: Now even this virus is scared of the Chinese virus, that means the situation is very serious friends.)
