In the T20 World Cup, Team India lost both of its initial matches. The team is getting a lot of attention on social media. Fans have been particularly harsh on Virat Kohli, but it appears that some have forgotten to criticise with decency. According to Swati Maliwal, the head of the Delhi Commission for Women, she has seen rape threats made against Virat's 9-month-old daughter in some of these tweets. Maliwal has filed a letter to the Delhi Police's Cyber Crime Branch, requesting action.
Virat's 9-month-old daughter is receiving internet rape threats after the match against Pakistan, according to Maliwal's letter. Virat is also being harassed, according to him, because he spoke out against targeting his teammate Mohammed Shami on the grounds of religion.
"The way Virat Kohli's 9-month-old daughter was threatened with rape on Twitter is very shameful. This team has made us proud thousands of times, why this silliness in defeat?" she said."Arrest all those who threatened the 9-month-old girl with rape," Maliwal added.
The DCW head has requested details on the FIR filed in this case from the Delhi Police. The commission wants to know who has been identified and arrested as a suspect in the case. Maliwal has requested that, if no arrest has been made, Delhi Police tell him of the steps taken to apprehend the accused. By November 8, the commission has requested detailed findings from the Delhi Police in this regard.
