"THE ABUSER SENT THEM TO MY PRIVATE NUMBER" - SANAM SHETTY ISSUES STATEMENT! WHAT HAPPENED?

Briefing her audience on the issue, she said that she has been receiving "violent death threats on Instagram and Twitter." Although she initially turned a blind eye to it, Sanam revealed that the harassment issue escalated and she started getting such death threats to her private number which eventually also reached her family.

Based on her complaint, the Cyber Crime Cell at Adyar arrested 21-year-old Roy John Paul from Nanmangalam in Tiruchy.

Sanam Shetty also clarified that this was not a pornography-based issue but a death threats related one.

Thanking the Chennai Police Department, she noted, "To everyone out there who face similar situation, I will say this. It's not okay to put up with harassment of any sorts. Speak up, get help. Your actions will help others too."
