The Twitterati trend #JusticeforumaRiaz as model Umar Riaz was physically pushed into swimming pool by another contestant Simba Nagpal who are currently locked inside the controversial Indian reality show Bigg boss 15 house.
The episode which went on air on 2nd November shows the physical aggression against Umar Riaz, who is professionally a doctor and the brother of Asim Riaz popularly known for his performance in Bigg boss season 13 as first runner up and the closest rival of late actor Sidharth Shukla.
Twitterati also trended another hashtag “Evict Simba Now,” after a clip from live feed went viral in which Umar Riaz is seen telling Ieshan Sehgal that he (Simba Nagpal) was time and again calling him “terrorist” for his aggressive looks. Umar claims in the video that Simba told him, “Task mein tu atankwadi lagta hai, surma nahi lagaya kar. (You look like a terrorist during tasks, don’t put collegium in your eyes.)”
Simba : “Task mein tu aatankwadi lagta hai, surma nahi lagaya kar”

While confirming the islamophobic slur used by Simba Nagpal, ex-contestant Vidhi Pandya took to her twitter and wrote “Yes I’m aware of this, Umar had shared this with me in the house, But he let go saying ke sweet hai I’m sure he didn’t mean it, but obviously it’s wrong and it’s niceness of Umar to let go something so pathetic. Stay strong Umar. You’ll pass through this.”
A popular TV critic and reality shows analyst Aakash Ashok Gupta also took to his Twitter and said “If #UmarRiaz is told that he looks like ‘Atankvadi’ by his looks, whatever may be the intent, #SimbaNagpal needs to be taught a lesson! The guy may look innocent but needs to watch out for his words & be mindful of the sensitivity involved! @realumarriaz, stay strong buddy #BB15”
Hailing from the Sidra area of Jammu province of Jammu Kashmir, Umar Riaz is a professional doctor who came into limelight on supporting his brother and working as PR for him when he was locked in Bigg boss 13 house. Asim Riaz subsequently emerged as the strongest contestant after Sidharth Shukla who passed away due to cardiac arrest in September.
