Anupama Parameswaran files cyber-crime complaint against 20-year-old woman
Actor Anupama Parameswaran took to her Instagram to reveal cyberbullying she has faced recently at the hands of a 20-year-old girl.
The actor stated that she has filed a cyber complaint and will be taking legal action, though she has chosen not to reveal the bully’s identity.
Anupama shared a note on her Instagram detailing the online bullying she faced recently by an Instagram account. She wrote, “An Instagram account was circulating extremely inappropriate and false content about me, my family, and even tagging my friends and co-actors. The posts included morphed pictures and baseless allegations – it was deeply distressing to see such targeted harassment online.”
Anupama stated that further investigation revealed that the same individual had created multiple fake accounts with the agenda to ‘spread hate’ and comment ‘malicious content’ on anything related to her.
After filing a complaint with the Cyber Crime Police in her hometown, Kerala, it turned out that the perpetrator was a 20-year-old girl from Tamil Nadu. The actor has chosen not to disclose her identity due to her age.
“However, I am sharing this incident to make one thing very clear – owning a smartphone or having access to social media platforms does not give anyone the right to harass, defame or spread hatred against others. Every action online leaves a trace, and accountability will follow,” wrote Anupama.
She also added that she has proceeded with legal action, so the 20-year-old will be facing consequences. She ended the note with, “Being an actor or public figure does not strip away basic rights. Cyberbullying is a punishable offence – and accountability is real.”
