Bengaluru: Two Held for Abusing Actor Ramya Online
Bengaluru CCB arrests two individuals for issuing rape and death threats to Ramya over her post on the Darshan case; 11 others identified, action underway
BENGALURU: Cyber Crime police of Bengaluru city on Saturday stated two persons have been taken into custody over their ‘derogatory’ and ‘misogynistic’ posts targeting actor and former Lok Sabha member Ramya/ Divya Spandana. The arrested are in police custody and are being subjected to further investigation. However, the police said, the arrested have confessed to the posts.
Meanwhile, police said identities of 11 others who have allegedly made ‘derogatory’ posts against the actor have been established by the Cyber Crime police and suitable action will be initiated against erring persons in coming days. In all, 48 persons made ‘derogatory’ posts and efforts are underway by the Cyber Crime police to trace them.
It may be recalled here, Ramya on July 28th lodged a complaint with the Commissioner of Police, Bengaluru over social media posts and termed the messages as “outrageous’ affecting the modesty as a woman. The ‘obscene’ language used in the posts were ‘scurrilous,’ ‘lewd’ and ‘filthy.’ The messages posted by the fans of actor Darshan “impend a direct threat to my life.”
The ‘derogatory’ messages against Ramya were over her sharing news reporting of Supreme Court proceedings in connection with the alleged murder of Renukaswami where actor Darshan is one of the accused.
Ramya, in her complaint, stated the disgruntled fans of actor Darshan sent scandalous, ghastly and obnoxious messages to one of her social media accounts. She mentioned as many as 43 posts sent to her by the fans of actor Darshan.
