Two booked for sending obscene, threatening messages to Rhea Chakraborty on Instagram

After Rhea Chakraborty complained about the rape threats she has been receiving on her Instagram page post-Sushant Singh Rajput's demise, an offence has been registered at Santacruz police station against two Instagram account holders. They have been booked for sending obscene and threatening messages to the actor. On July 16, 2020, Rhea had shared a screenshot of the rape threat she received from an Instagram user and tagged Cyber Crime India to take necessary action against the user.

She had written, "I was called a gold digger ..I kept quiet. I was called a murderer...I kept quiet. I was slut-shamed ....I kept quiet. But how does my silence give you the right to tell me that you will get me RAPED and MURDERED if I don’t commit suicide @mannu_raaut? Do you realize the seriousness of what you have said? These are crimes, and by law no one, I repeat NO ONE should be subjected to this kind of toxicity and harassment. I request @cyber_crime_helpline @cybercrimeindia to please take necessary action."
