After the Indian cricket team’s defeat in Dubai, online trolls threatened Virat Kohli and Bollywood actor Anushka Sharma’s daughter.
In a tweet, Maliwal said, “The way the 9-month-old was threatened on Twitter is “very shameful”. The Indian team has always made us proud. Why such shameful behaviour after defeat. I have issued a notice to Delhi Police and urged them to arrest all the accused.”
