Amit
B
Wadhwani,
co-producer
of
Vivek
Anand
Oberoi
starrrer
PM
Narendra
Modi
biopic,
has
registered
a
complaint
with
Chembur
police
after
a
Facebook
user
gave
rape
threats
to
the
female
members
of
his
family
on
social
media.
In
his
FIR,
Wadhwani
said
that
a
Facebook
account
by
the
name
of
Optimistix
Optimistix
used
abusive
language
for
his
family
under
his
post
about
the
re-release
of
Modi
biopic.
The
user
also
blamed
'people
like
Wadhwani'
for
the
death
of
Bollywood
actor
Sushant
Singh
Rajput.
As
per
a
report
in
Hindustan
Times,
Wadhwani
said
in
his
statement,
"I
have
been
active
on
social
media
and
contributing
as
a
thought
leader
in
the
industry
and
also
providing
updates
on
the
latest
Business
moves
and
industry
trends.
As
co-producer
of
PM
Narendra
Modi,
I
have
received
threat
comments
on
social
media
warning
me
of
dire
consequences.
While
trollers
are
common
and
insignificant,
the
nature
of
threat
and
bringing
in
my
family
into
this
is
disturbing
for
a
law
abiding
citizen
and
business
leader
like
me.
I
wasn't
sure
whether
there
is
a
wider
nexus
or
pattern
to
it
given
the
recent
developments
in
Bollywood
industry.
I
have
filed
an
official
complaint
with
the
cyber
cell
who
have
assured
me
to
look
into
this."
While
speaking
with
Mumbai
Mirror,
"I
don't
even
have
a
daughter.
However,
what
was
scarier
was
that
he
also
posted
a
picture
of
me
and
my
two-year
old
son
in
the
comments.
I
have
never
posted
that
picture
on
Facebook."
Meanwhile,
a
police
official
confirmed
to
the
leading
daily
that
after
receiving
Wadhwani's
complaint,
an
FIR
has
been
registered
against
the
person
who
owned
the
account
in
question.
The
officer
further
revealed
that
the
accused
has
been
booked
under
sections
509
(word,
gesture
or
act
intended
to
insult
the
modesty
of
a
woman),
500
(defamation)
and
501
(printing
matter
known
to
be

of
Indian

code
and
section
67
(Publishing
or
transmitting

Technology

The

the
matter.
