Bhubaneswar: Ollywood actor Sabyasachi Mishra on Tuesday sought intervention of the Commissionerate Police over alleged threats which he received on social media for posting a message soon after the abrogation of Article 370 in Jammu & Kashmir yesterday.
As per the actor, he received threats following his Instagram post in which he had welcomed the Government of India’s decision to do away with the Article 370 and reorganize Jammu and Kashmir.
In his post, Sabyasachi had written, “Kashmir Welcome Back to India. Today, India is complete. No Politics, no violence please. Extremists can leave the valley, time for peace, education and development.”
Soon after this post, Sabyasachi alleged that he started receiving obscene and vulgar comments and was trolled by several IDs of foreign origin.
“When the number of such comments started to grow, I started to respond and started commenting back. So far, through more than 35 fake profiles, the miscreants are sending threat messages like - Tujhe Patta Nahi Tu Kisse Panga Le Raha Hai. We will hack your ID," the actor alleged.
Sabysachi further stated that on the advice of Bhubaneswar DCP, he reported the matter to Instagram.
“I am hurt and there is a sense of fear as well. I think such IDs have been created only to disturb communal harmony in India and brainwash youngsters,” the actor added.
