After realizing her mistake, she immediately posted an apology on WhatsApp.” Mohammad, who works for a private firm in Gorakhpur, said,” Shadab is not familiar with the internet and Friday was the first day of the online class. To explain the nouns, she picked some sentences from the internet as examples but did not read them thoroughly and posted them on the WhatsApp group.”
