The comments has seemingly drawn heavy backlash from the public and led to a formal police complaint.
Anubhav Gupta wishes death upon Congress leader Rahul Gandhi
Following the recent tragic crash of Air India Flight AI171 in Ahmedabad, Rahul Gandhi expressed his condolences on social media. Gandhi described the incident as “heartbreaking” and further urged Congress workers in the area to assist in relief efforts. However, a man named Anubhav Gupta gave a disturbing reply on X to Gandhi’s post, stating:
Tu bhi board kar jata usi mein hi, mar jaata tu bhi. Zinda reh kar teri condolences ne to bahut samaaj kalyaan kar dia jaise.”
The post seemingly translates to:
You should’ve boarded that same flight too, you would’ve died as well. Staying alive, your condolences have really done a great service to society, haven’t they?”
Following the intense backlash, he has now deleted his comment.
Supreme Court lawyer files complaint against Abhinav Gupta
In response to the comment, Supreme Court lawyer Pranav Arora filed a police complaint against Anubhav Gupta. Arora stated on X:
Filed a complaint with Delhi Police against the verified user Anubhav Gupta for his reprehensible and abusive comment targeting Rahul Gandhi, Leader of Opposition, in response to his condolence message on the tragic Air India Ahmedabad crash.”
Arora also shared screenshots of the offensive tweet and called Gupta’s statement
criminal, indecent, malicious, and a direct wish for the death of a constitutional functionary.”
He further added that the post wasn’t protected by free speech and accused Anubhav of attempting to:
“undermine public order, instigate political animosity, and trivialise a national tragedy.”
Hello @SamsungIndia, If you do not fire Anubhav Gupta from your company within the next 24 hours, you will soon see many people boycotting your products.
The decision is in your hands.
