Ranvir Shorey reports death threats after criticising CJP protest

He posted screenshots of abusive emails on X and asked cybercrime authorities to investigate.
One sender claimed to be tracking Shorey’s movements and threatened an attack.

What people are saying
Show your numbers in Parliament and the ballot, not the streets! And if the way to those seems unjust, show the courts! That is the democratic way! Hijacking the streets and holding the public infrastructure and law and order machinery to ransom is the actual “murder of democracy”!
