In her complaint submitted to Delhi Police Commissioner Amulya Patnaik as well as Barakhamba Road police station, Delhi BJP spokesperson Nupur Sharma demanded action against Ayyub under the SC/ST (Prevention of Atrocities) Act.
Reacting to the announcement of Kovind's name as the National Democratic Alliance (NDA) nominee for the presidential election, Ayyub had tweeted "And you thought Pratibha Patil was the worst bet".
The defiant journalist retorted to the police complaint against her, saying the BJP needed to do something better to "intimidate" her.
Police said they are looking into the complaint.
