Chaturvedi said, “We are trolled every day, but I got to know that someone is talking about my daughter on social media. I am filing a criminal complaint so that such people don’t get away.”
After the threat, the Congress leader took to her social media account and brought the attention of the Mumbai Police.
A complaint has been filed with the Mumbai Police, who has assured her prompt action.
“Yes, I plan to file an FIR. Also for kind attention of @MumbaiPolice , this fake quote with my pic is being shared on various FB pages with call for violence directed at me, I would request you to treat this as urgent,” Chaturvedi tweeted.
