(Bhagya Luxmi, Intern Journalist) A month has passed since the death of actor Sushant Singh Rajput, but the anger of the people is not taking the name of calm. People are campaigning for justice for Sushant on social media. During this time, some celebrities of the film industry are also constantly being trolled. Recently, Alia Bhatt’s sister Shaheen Bhatt told that she and her family are being threatened with rape and death messages.
Shaheen Bhatt shared some screenshots on her Instagram account, describing how people are writing lewd things against the Bhatt family on social media. In this screenshot, Shaheen has also shared some messages sent to her. Posting these, Shaheen wrote, ‘Does this surprise you? Why? This doesn’t surprise me. ‘
Shaheen Bhatt wrote in her post, “So, I speak now to those of you who think it’s okay to send me or anyone messages full of hate. If you send me a message with the sole hope (I say hope because I promise you-nothing you say is keeping me up with at night) of humiliating, insulting, or bullying me, then the following things will happen: -The message or comment will first be blocked and reported to Instagram directly. –You will forfeit the right to your privacy. I will NOT protect your identity. Every shitty message you send me will-should I choose to-go up for everyone to see. Abusers are emboldened by their anonymity. I will not help hide you. – I WILL use all legal recourse available to me to take action. If you think you can’t be located because your account is anonymous, please think again-IP addresses are easily trackable. YOU are not invisible. Harassment is a crime.”
