A Bengaluru man was sacked from his job after a complaint was filed against him for allegedly threatening to throw acid on a woman over her choice of clothes. The woman’s husband complained that his wife was given a warning by the accused Nikith Shetty.
Husband Shahbaz Ansar took to X to call out the man threatening his wife. He wrote, “This person is threatening to throw acid on my wife’s face for her choice of clothes. Please take immediate action against this person to prevent any incident from happening.” He tagged Bengaluru police, Karnataka Chief Minister Siddaramaiah, and Deputy CM DK Shivakumar seeking speedy action in his post.
