Corroboration: 2 independent outlets (3 source reports)

Parul Gulati, evicted from The Traitors Season 2 as an innocent, told Hindustan Times she felt the decision was unfair because she had proved her innocence by leading the eviction of a traitor earlier. Aaditya Kulshreshth (Kullu), a traitor whose deciding vote removed her, said he eliminated the strongest innocent to protect the original traitors. The show drops new episodes every Thursday on Amazon Prime Video. Separately, Times Now reports that contestants Krystle D'Souza and Shahneel Gill have alleged foul play by an unnamed participant, hinting at Gulati. In Instagram videos, they claimed a contestant used their assigned 'Shadow' assistant to identify traitors and credited 'gut feeling' without logic. Gulati had often cited gut feeling in her predictions.

## Indian Opinion Analysis

Both Hindustan Times articles frame the eviction as a game of strategy, reporting players' rationales neutrally. Times Now sensationalises the foul-play allegation with a dramatic headline and speculative tone, framing Gulati as a suspected cheater without naming her directly. The measured take: the allegation is unverified and no evidence has been presented, readers should wait for a response from the makers before concluding. Next to watch: whether Amazon Prime Video or the show's producers address the claim.
