Zargar's followers were pleased with her gesture and appreciated her move. Last year Zargar was brutally trolled and mocked. She spent months in jail during her pregnancy. Twitter user Md Asif Khan wrotethat she is an amazing human being. Zargar thanked him saying that she was just doing her bit.

Thank you Asif bhai. Just doing my bit :) Allah bless u too.

On April 10, 2020, the activist was arrested at her residence as the police suspected her to be n organiser of an anti-CAA protest and road blockade. She was brought before the Metropolitan Magistrate the next day and remained in police custody for two days. Zargar was rearrested soon after her bail on April 13 on another charge. Later, additional charges were brought against her.

Cases of COVID positive patients are rising in Delhi. As the Capital fights against the surge and daily deaths, it has sought the assistance of the army to set-up, operationalise and run COVID-19 health facilities.
