Based on a complaint from Meera Chopra aka Nila, Hyderabad police have registered a case against fans of NTR Junior for abusing and threatening her with gang rape and acid attacks.
According to Assistant Commissioner of Police K V N Prasad, a case has been registered under Indian Penal Code’s sections 506 (criminal intimidation), and 509 (insulting the modesty of a woman) and section 67 of the Information Technology Act. He added that the process of identifying the accused was underway.
Meera said she recently had a chat session called – #AskMeera – with her fans on Twitter in which she was asked about her favourite actor from South cinema.
She said she was a bigger fan of Mahesh Babu than Junior NTR after which she started receiving abusive messages on Twitter.
“I conducted Ask Meera’ session on Twitter and a fan asked me about my favourite actor from the south film industry. I said Mahesh Babu. Then somebody asked if I liked Junior NTR, and I said I don’t know him and I’m not a fan. That’s it.
As soon as I said that, I was bombarded with abuses, murder threats, rape threats, character assassination and threats against my parents. Some morphed my face with porn actors. I’ve got close to 30,000 abusive tweets so far,” she said in a statement
