A viral video purportedly showing Ghaziabad police using a 'machine' to verify citizenship has been clarified by the woman featured, Roshni Khatun. She stated police visited her locality seeking identification documents but used no such device. Khatun, originally from Bihar and living in Ghaziabad for years, described the exchange as initially intimidating but later light-hearted, with an officer jokingly suggesting a 'machine' indicated Bangladesh. She urged against targeting police, asserting their behavior was not inappropriate.
