Vijay Sethupathi announced that he is walking out of “800 the film” after Muttiah Muralitharan requested him to remove himself from the project as he is worried about his future ventures. Hours before the announcement, the disgusting tweet was posted in the comment section of Vijay Sethupathi’s tweet.

Singer Chinmayi who is known for her MeToo activism, shared the tweet and demanded immediate arrest against him by tagging the official twitter accounts of Chennai Police. Several other people shared the tweet and asked others to report the ID.

Chinmayi, while sharing the tweet said “A tamil man expressing his difference of opinion. This is why people in this state are supporting criminals who committed sexual crimes. Is nobody in this system going to change this? A man who can say in public about raping a child is a criminal.” her tweet read.

கருத்து வேறுபாடை தெரிவிக்கும் ஒரு தமிழ் மகன். அதான் சமுதாயத்தில் இருக்கும் பாலியல் குற்றவாளிங்களுக்கு support a நிக்கிறாங்க இந்த ஊர்ல. @chennaipolice_ @DCP_Adyar

Is nobody in this system going to change this?

Journalist Dhanya Rajendran asked people to keep the screenshots of his tweets and profile as it will be hard for police to retrieve it once it gets locked.

People who are reporting that guy’s tweet. Pls keep screenshots etc. Cos once the account gets locked, sometimes it’s not easy for cops to retrieve it. And what we need is immediate action. #VijaySethupathi

People are also ready to file a formal complaint against the guy who posted the comment.

Days before, Gujarat Police detained a 16 year old boy for allegedly making rape threats to the daughter of former Indian captain Mahendra Singh Dhoni in the social media posts of his wife Sakshi Dhoni. The accused who is a class 12 student was arrested from Mundra in Gujarat. He was picked up by the local police after a tip off from the Ranchi police which had registered a case regarding the issue last week. The accused confessed to having made the threatening message on Instagram, according to police.

This is the most inhumane activity that ever took place in online medium. Government must look for ways to find these culprits who are hiding behind a smartphone and acting as a threat to this entire country’s dignity !!
