Virat, Anushka and Vamika in Dubai

The Delhi Commission for Women takes suo-motu cognisance on reports of online rape threats to Virat Kohli's 9-month-old daughter following India's defeat in the India vs Pakistan match.

The DCW asks the Deputy Commissioner of Police to provide them with a copy of the FIR, details of accused identified and arrested, detailed action taken and file a report by November 8.

A twitter account, now deleted, issued a rape threat to nine-month-old Vamika Kohli, daughter of Bollywood actor Anushka Sharma and India men's cricket team captain Virat Kohli.

While the identity of the person who tweeted the rape threat is yet to be verified, the screenshot has been amplified several times by right-leaning handles.

The tweet comes at a time when captain Kohli is facing vitriolic trolling for speaking in support of his Muslim teammate Mohammed Shami who was attacked online after the cricket team faced a 10-wicket defeat against Pakistan in the ongoing Men's T20 World Cup.
