A man in Bengaluru, Nikith Shetty, was terminated from his job after threatening to throw acid at a woman over her choice of clothes in a social media post. The incident came to light when the woman’s husband, journalist Shahbaz Ansar, filed a complaint and shared a screenshot of the threat sent to his wife, an influencer, on Instagram.
Shahbaz tweeted, tagging the Karnataka DGP and Chief Minister Siddaramaiah, urging immediate action to prevent any incident. Following the complaint, Etios Digital Services, where Nikith was employed, promptly fired him and expressed its disapproval of his behavior, stating it was “deeply saddened” by the incident.
The company also mentioned that a case had been filed against Nikith to ensure accountability for his actions. In a follow-up tweet, Shahbaz announced the termination, thanking everyone involved for their support.
