Sacred Games' Anurag Kashyap files FIR after daughter receives rape threats

Film-maker shared screenshots of the Modi supporter who posted profanities along with the threat

An FIR has been filed against a troll who threatened to rape film-maker Anurag Kashyap’s daughter, Aaliyah Kashyap.

On May 23, Anurag Kashyap shared a screenshot of a comment posted by one of Indian Prime Minister Narendra Modi’s supporters on his teenage daughter’s Instagram page. The comment included a rape threat and profanities.

The director, after congratulating PM Modi on his victory in the Lok Sabha election, also asked the prime minister how supporters who threaten women needed to be handled.

Kashyap wrote on Twitter, “Dear Narendra Mod sir. Congratulations on your victory and thank you for the message of inclusiveness. Sir, please also tell us how do we deal with these followers of yours who celebrate your victory by threatening my daughter with messages like this for me being your dissenter.”



Once the FIR was filed, the Gangs of Wassaypur director took to Twitter to thank the authorities for starting the process.

He tweeted, “Anyway, I want to thank Mumbai Police, Maharashtra Cyber, Brijesh Singh for helping me with filing the FIR . Thank you so much for the amazing support and starting the process. Thank you Chief Minister of Maharashtra Devendra Fadnavis and thank you Narendra Modi sir. As a father I am more secure now.”
