Mumbai model behind viral student protest video files complaint against online trolling
Mumbai model Riya Ahir, whose image of blocking a police van during a student protest went viral, has filed a police complaint alleging online harassment, defamation and obscene trolling.
In a complaint filed with the Maharashtra Cyber Cell, she claimed that several social media users and content creators targeted her with abusive comments, slut-shaming and misleading allegations.
She also expressed concern that her photographs could be morphed and misused. Ahir came into the spotlight after stopping a police van carrying detained protesters at Dadar in Maharashtra.
