Former India skipper Virat Kohli, his wife, and Bollywood actress Anushka Sharma have decided to forgive the man who sent them rape threats. Apparently, a person from Hyderabad had sent them rape threats directed toward their daughter. This happened during the 20-20 World Cup 2021 in the UAE after the team had lost to New Zealand. After the incident, a probe was conducted, and the perpetrator was booked under various sections of the IPC.
Ramnagesh Akubathini, a graduate from the Indian Institute of Technology (IIT) Hyderabad was booked for his objectional tweets against Vamika Kohli, the toddler. An FIR was registered against him under sections 354 (outraging modesty/sexual harassment), 506 (criminal intimidation), 500 (defamation), and 201 (disappearance of evidence) of the Indian Penal Code along with offenses under the Information Technology Act. A local court granted him bail nine days later.
Ramnagesh moved the HC seeking to quash the FIR in February 2022. He was a meritorious student and rank-holder in the JEE (Advanced) Exam and wished to go abroad for a job but the case was causing hindrance to his career, he pleaded. On April 10th, the complainant, Kohli, and Sharma filed an affidavit granting consent for the case to be quashed. Accordingly, the HC quashed the FIR.
This is how Twitter reacted
Seriously???? Does an IIT Graduate deserve to study abroad, make a fortune, have a family and may even go on to get a card from his daughter on a father's day in future that would say "My Dad Is The Best".....

Baffled to know IIT Graduate has given rape threats. How can somebody do that ?
Just imagine what will this man will do in future who is giving these threats now.
Intensity of this case is huge. IIT stands for excellence this man is not even close to it.

If he was mentally alright he never would've done such horrible things in the first place. Kohli few years back would've made sure his life was over but he's a changed man now, still shouldn't have forgive him.

I would never excuse that person.
Virushka should have been more strict, these abusers would understand that they can't get away easily.
These internet warriors need some good treatment. How long are we gonna brush it off saying celebs should ignore this.
