Social media is both a boon and a curse. While it gives you a chance to voice your opinions, it also throws you wide-open to backlash and trolls without filters. Sometimes these trolls go beyond their limits and end up making remarks that are extremely demeaning.
One such recent case of social relevance that has become a popular topic of discussion among people on social media is the Citizenship Amendment Act (CAA). While many are protesting against the act that offers Indian citizenship to migrants from all religions but Islam, others are lending their support to it.
The clash between the supporters and protestors of the act in the country can be seen on the streets as well as on social media equally. One such clash on Facebook that is hogging limelight recently is that of Trilok Singh, a chef who claims to be a part of the popular Lalit hotel chain in Dubai, reports Times Now.
The chef expressed his angst over a Facebook post of a woman from Delhi who was critical of CAA. But the words he chose were too explicit to be mentioned. Apart from calling her a prostitute, Trilok threatened her saying she will be gang-raped in Delhi. He also used obscene references to genitals, acid, and sticks in his messages to the woman, reports Gulf News.
Sharing the screenshots of his messages, the woman asked people to report Trilok’s Facebook account. Her post which soon went viral enraged people and they expressed their disappointment over Trilok’s mentality.

@AUDubai This is shocking & shameful that no action has been taken against your employee Trilok Singh who is threatening a woman activist Swati Khanna with gang rape. He has been harassing her with extremely vulgar & abusive language. https://t.co/ZPWGRPDXO0

Trilok’s account was then taken down from Facebook. Hotel Lalit too shared a tweet to dismiss their association with Trilok.
Namaskar ! We recently noticed a series of tweets about Trilok Singh. We strongly condemn this behavior and clarify that Trilok Singh is not a part of @thelalitgroup since last two years.
We are also reporting his profile to Facebook for removing his current working status.
