Anurag Kashyap has filed an FIR against the social media user who threatened his daughter with rape over the filmmaker's criticism of Prime Minister Narendra Modi.
The troll, whose Instagram handle had 'chowkidar' before his name, had sent a vitriol-filled message to Kashyap's daughter on Instagram while also abusing the director.
Tagging the prime minister's official Twitter handle, Kashyap on Thursday wrote, "Dear @narendramodi 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," Kashyap said, sharing a screenshot of the offensive post
