New Delhi: Mumbai-based journalist John Dayal on Wednesday filed a complaint with Delhi Police alleging that he received death threats by right-wing activists after tweeting on the arrest of St Xavier's School's principal for molesting two minor students.
"I met police commissioner B S Bassi and handed him a copy of the complaint which was forwarded to the cyber cell of the Delhi Police. I will leave the police to investigate the rest," said Dayal.
Dayal, who is the secretary-general of the All-India Christian Council, came under a barrage of abusive comments after he tweeted that the owners of the school were connected to the ruling party. Twitter users not only trolled his views but also threatened him of dire consequences, alleged Dayal.
