Twitter Questions PM Modi’s Whereabouts in Feb

In March, media reports had suggested that Grylls visited India in February – a time when the Pulwama terror attack on CRPF convoys happened. The report added that Grylls’ was present at the Jim Corbett tiger reserve in Uttarakhand’s Dhikala for a “shoot.”

During the same time, Uttarakhand Forest Department had cancelled all tourist bookings for the Dhikala forest due to PM Modi’s visit to the state.

Therefore, many users on Twitter pointed out that PM Modi was “busy” shooting with Grylls on the episode during the attack.
