- rape threats to DU student Gurmehar Kaur, a First Information Report (FIR) was registered by the cyber cell on Tuesday. Kaur has also been provided added protection by the police.
The FIR was filed after the DCW forwarded Kaur’s complaint to Delhi Police. A case of outraging the modesty of a woman, criminal intimidation and under the IT Act has been registered against unknown persons, confirmed a senior police officer.
Senior officials also said that they have spoken to Gurmehar Kaur and have strengthened protection around her residence and premises to ensure her safety.
Meanwhile, ABVP has filed a complaint at Maurice Nagar police station seeking action against those who threatened her. “Unfortunately, she has blamed us for it but I want to clarify that none of our people are involved in it,” wrote Saket Bahuguna, national media convenor, ABVP, in his complaint to the police.
Kaur was trolled by Twitterati and others for her stance against the ABVP. Speaking to a news channel on Sunday, Kaur, a martyr’s daughter, had alleged that she had been threatened with rape by some Twitter users since her post on social media that read “I am a student from Delhi University. I am not afraid of the ABVP. I am not alone. Every student of India is with me. #StudentsAgainstABVP”
