A Mumbai woman, Shruti Parija, has approached the police after an individual on social media made derogatory comments about her dance video. Prateek Aaryan, the user in question, posted a video of Shruti Parija dancing at a college fest, referring to it as a “kotha” (a term associated with brothels). Ms. Parija alleges that despite numerous requests, Mr. Aaryan refused to take down the video.

In response, Mr. Aaryan asserted that his comments were directed at Indian schools and colleges in general, not at Ms. Parija. He stated that his intention was not to harm her and defended his right to express opinions about the education system.
