Last week, Allahbadia made a comeback to social media, pledging to use greater caution while posting anything.
Social media users came in support of Apoorva Mukhija and called out Maharashtra Cyber for keeping quiet on this cyberbullying and trolling. ‘So where’s Cyber security and police now?’ read a comment. Another user wrote, ‘You didn’t deserve this, my girl will come back stronger and fiercer.’ Another user wrote, ‘We live in a low IQ society, I feel pity for these people, no future, no life, no respect. Such a waste on earth. More strength to you, this shall too pass.’
