Actress and former MP Divya Spandan says ‘Actor Darshan’s fans sent me rape threats,’ breaks silence on two people’s arrest – Firstpost

Actress and former MP Divya Spandana revealed how she was facing abuse and rape threats from actor Darshan who is out on bail in a murder case. When Divya aka Ramya spoke about the murder case the actor was involved in, she had to go through relentless trolling and abuse as stated above.

Bengaluru’s Cyber Crime Police registered a case after the actress and politician filed a complaint. The actress has now issued a statement in the matter and this is what she had to say:

Actress’ statement

I said the Supreme Court is a ray of hope for the common people of India who seek justice. That’s it. I didn’t even mention the actor. Post that, I received incessant trolling. And this is not where people just call you a prostitute or a slut, which I think is a sad thing women have come to be immune to.

We have kind of made it a norm and just ignore it, and that shouldn’t be the case. And I usually let those slide. But these were messages that explicitly described how I should be raped and how I should have been murdered instead of Renukaswamy.

Receiving nude photographs and videos

I also received a lot of video calls and audio calls which I didn’t entertain. I was kind of shocked because as a public figure, people criticise you and sometimes make memes of you and in fact I have also, you know, have seen such memes of myself and laughed about it. But this was on another level. The thought that crossed my mind was that if they can do this to me, it shows they have complete disregard for women and for the law. They have no fear. And if they can do this to me, imagine what they must be sending to others who stand up for the truth.

As of now, two individuals have been arrested by Central Crime Branch (CCB) in the matter.
