World Cup 2021.
Hyderabad :
A special team by Mumbai Police arrested 23-year-old man,
identified as Ramnagesh Srinivas Akubathini. He allegedly changed his Twitter
handle and pretended to be a Pakistani user after cops started investigating
screenshots of the threats. He has been taken to Mumbai.
According to a news report, police sources have said that he is a software engineer and currently unemployed. He has worked for a food-delivery app company in the past.
People on social media had strongly condemned the rape threats to a nine-month-old Virat Kohli's daughter.
Mumbai Police had been investigating the matter since then and was scrutinizing several Twitter handles involved in the matter.
The Delhi Commission for Women (DCW) had also called for an investigation. The panel had issued notice to the Delhi police, asking to see an FIR (first information report), details of those identified and arrested, and a detailed "action taken report".
