A school teacher in Rajasthan's Udaipur was terminated from her job after she expressed joy at Pakistan's victory against India in Sunday's T20 World Cup match. The teacher, Nafisa Atari, was working at the Neerja Modi School in Rajasthan's Udaipur.
She had put up a status on WhatsApp expressing happiness at India's loss against Pakistan. In the post, Nafisa had shared an image of Pakistani players with the text, "Jeet gaye, we won".
