Parul Gulati’s eviction from The Traitors Season 2 triggers a dispute after fellow contestants Krystle D’Souza and Shahneel Gill publicly raise claims that she may have had an unfair information advantage. The allegations suggest that she repeatedly identified traitors with suspicious accuracy, which they attribute to an alleged leak of confidential game information.
In response, Gulati addresses the controversy on Instagram, posting a statement that she says reflects her innocence amid the repeated accusations. While she does not name specific contestants, her reaction is widely read as a rebuttal to the “cheating” narrative. Shahneel and Krystle describe the conduct as unfair to other players and to the traitors themselves, arguing that “gut feelings” and frequent correct calls could point to outside involvement.
The outlets present the same core dispute—rival claims of a possible leak and Gulati’s denial—but differ in emphasis. Times of India focuses on the controversy and its impact on perceived fairness, while Free Press Journal details Gulati’s and the accusers’ statements and how viewers split between attributing results to strategy versus alleging foul play.
