Delhi Police (DP) registered an FIR against some unidentified persons after a series of bad remarks regarding former Indian captains, MS Dhoni and Virat Kohli’s daughters as well. The complaint was registered after Delhi Commission for Women (DCW) chief Swati Maliwal had asked the authorities to take an action against the online trolls as well.
The authorities were made aware of the offensive pictures of Ziva Dhoni and Vamika Kohli, which surfaced internet last week. DCW chairperson Swati Maliwal was angry after these incidents and urged the police to take action asap against the offenders, who were smashing the reputation of the Indian cricketers by targeting their families as well.

“Some accounts are posting pictures of the daughters of two senior players of the country, Virat Kohli and (MS) Dhoni, on Twitter and making lewd comments. Disgusting comments about two-year-old and seven-year-old girls. If you don’t like a player, will you abuse his daughter? Issuing notice to police to register FIR,” the tweet by the chief read.
मेरी नोटिस के बाद दिल्ली पुलिस ने @ImVKohli और @MSDhoni की बेटियों पर हुई अभद्र टिपण्णियों के मामले में FIR दर्ज कर ली है। बहुत जल्द सभी दोषी गिरफ़्तार होंगे और सलाख़ों के पीछे जाएँगे। pic.twitter.com/IPFE7Uky0x

“Nowadays, it is seen that trolls often openly make lewd remarks about the wife of any celebrity or cricketer, even their two and seven-year-old daughters are not spared. They write wrong things about them on social media and abuse them. This has become a trend these days. If someone does not like a cricketer or celebrity, then he should not watch him. However, some people target his family and make lewd comments about his little girl and wife, which is not right at all. Small girls, even a seven-year-old girl is not safe,” the DCW chairperson was quoted as saying by the press.
