A man has been arrested for giving rape and life threats to TV actress Uorfi Javed, informed Mumbai Police on Wednesday.
Goregaon Police took the man, named Naveen Giri, under its custody under an FIR registered u/s 354(A) (sexual harassment), 354(D) (stalking), 509, 506 (criminal intimidation) of IPC as well as IT Act.
Naveen had used WhatsApp to send threatening messages to the social media influencer. Earlier Javed had come all guns blazing at author Chetan Bhagat, who gave a controversial statement against the ‘Daayan’ actor at a literary event.
Uorfi took to her Instagram stories and wrote, “Men like him will always blame the women than accept their own shortcomings. Stop promoting rape culture you sickos out there. Blaming women’s clothes for the behaviour of men is so 80s Mr Chetan Bhagat”. Additionally, she also put up screenshots of Bhagat’s allegedly leaked WhatsApp messages from the Me Too movement in 2018. Meanwhile, the Bepannaah actor was last seen in the reality TV show MTV Splitsvilla (season 14).
