Kohli's 9-month-old daughter gets rape threats online, DCW seeks police report

New Delhi: The Delhi Commission of Women on Tuesday took suo-motu cognisance on reports of online rape threats to Indian cricket team captain Virat Kohli’s 9-month-old daughter following the team’s defeat in the recent India Pakistan cricket match held in Dubai.

The women commission also asked the Deputy Commissioner of Police to provide them with a copy of FIR, including details of accused identified and arrested. The Commission also asked for detailed action to be taken report by November 8.

The way the 9-month-old was threatened on Twitter is “very shameful”, Swati Maliwal, Chairperson of the Women Body, said in a tweet today.

After the defeat against New Zealand in the T20 World Cup, the Indian team is currently under fire. While making this criticism, some fans stooped to a new low and issued rape threats to Virat Kohli and Anushka Sharma’s nine-month-old daughter. A tweet by now-deleted account @Criccrazyygirl issued a rape threat to a nine-month-old Vamika Kohli.

The threat was issues after the Indian cricket team captain supported Mohammed Shami and called out religious discrimination, unequivocally.
