Civil rights activist and journalist Teesta Setalvad, is in apparent trouble over a tweet, (now deleted), where she seems to have equated ISIS militants with Hindu gods. The picture shows an ISIS militant with a sudarshan chakra and an image of Kali superimposed with the head of a militant.

She is now trending on Twitter with tweets asking, in a sense, for her head.

Teesta has apologised saying, "Image was still be worked upon put by mistake no intention to upset anyone apologies."

Teesta who is secretary, Citizens for Justice and Peace, is a co petitioner seeking trial of Narendra Modi, and other politicians and government officials for complicity in the Gujarat violence of 2002.
