Twitter user giving rape threat to Virat Kohli's daughter is Indian, not Pakistani – Alt News

Since Indian bowler, Mohammed Shami, was abused on social media after India’s loss to Pakistan in the T20 World Cup, there has been an organised effort to blame anonymous Pakistani accounts for targeting Shami. Indian cricket team caption Virat Kohli came out in support of Shami and condemned those who attacked him over his faith. A now-deleted Twitter handle ‘Amena @criccrazygirl’ posted a tweet where the user threatened to rape Kohli’s daughter. It has now been claimed that @criccrazygirl is a Pakistani bot account. Once again it’s a Pakistani bot…. https://t.co/a3iickCCcT pic.twitter.com/SMrpxTx5KP — Mr Sinha (@MrSinha_) October 31, 2021 Several people made the claim while criticising those who called out the objectionable tweet.
