Virat Kohli And Anushka Sharma's Daughter, Vamika's Rape Threat Case: Hyderabad Engineer Arrested

In October 2021, Indian cricket team captain, Virat Kohli and Bollywood actress, Anushka Sharma’s 10-month-old daughter, Vamika Sharma Kohli had received rape threats for her father’s statement against religious discrimination. A Twitter user had gone horribly wrong while expressing his disappointment, making the netizens fume with anger over his outrageous tweet. Well, soon after, a search warrant was issued and now, the man has been nabbed by the Mumbai police.

The Delhi Commission For Women (DCW) had sent a notice to the Delhi police, earlier this month, to seek a response over rape threats made for Virat Kohli and Anushka Sharma’s daughter, Vamika on social media. DCW chief, Swati Maliwal had written the letter to the Delhi Police, which could be read as:

Talking about the rape threat, it had happened that after India had lost to Pakistan on a T20 world cup match held on October 24, 2021, netizens had attacked Indian cricket player, Mohammed Shami, disrespecting him and hurling abuses at him for his religion. Virat Kohli, Indian Cricket Team captain, had come out in his support at a press conference and had mentioned how religious discrimination is utterly wrong. He had said:

“There’s a good reason why we are playing on the field and not some bunch of spineless people on social media that have no courage to actually speak to any individual in person. They hide behind their identities and go after people through social media, making fun of people and that has become a social entertainment in today’s world, which is so unfortunate and so sad to see.”
