The video by popular TikTok creator Faizal Siddiqui shows him throwing water on a girl that transitions to her having makeup similar to acid burn marks.
Acid attack survivor Laxmi Agarwal also took to Instagram and thanked the NCW for taking action against Siddiqui.
“Thanks to the National Commission for Women for taking cognizance of the viral video by TikTok ‘influencer’ Faizal Siddiqui promoting acid attack. Such videos/actions should be strictly debarred which are against the society,” she wrote.
BanTikTok trends on Twitter
The demand to ban TikTok, owned by China’s ByteDance, and block Siddiqui from the platform gained momentum on Twitter Monday, as the hashtag #BanTikTok started trending.
Soon after, the app’s rating went down from four to two stars in the Google Playstore.
Siddiqui, meanwhile, released a statement on his Instagram account saying that he was only drinking water and the woman shown in the video is a make-up artist.
In April, a roast had begun between the creators of YouTube and TikTok in which YouTuber Carry Minati had made a video on another TikToker. YouTube later took the video down, which had over 70 million views in two days. Since then, Minati’s fans have also been demanding a ban on the Chinese app too.
