Overview
- Ranvir Shorey publicly criticised the Cockroach Janata Party’s street protest on X, saying political grievances should be taken to parliament, elections or the courts rather than blocking public spaces.
- After the post he shared screenshots of threatening emails and named Cyber Dost and the Maharashtra Cyber Cell to draw their attention to the messages.
- One email shown by Shorey used the name 'Raj Parihar', contained abusive language and said the sender was tracking his location and would attack him at a chosen time.
- Shorey filed an official police complaint and Mumbai Police replied to his public post asking him to share contact details by direct message; the coverage reports no arrests or public resolution so far.
- The case highlights rising online threats to public figures and shows how cyber cells and traditional police are being used together to investigate abuse related to recent CJP protests over alleged irregularities in the SIR of electoral rolls.
