Khyati Shree's husband Shahbaz Ansar took to his X handle and shared the threatening message he received. Shahbaz tagged DGP Karnataka seeking Police action on an urgent basis. Khyati Shree's husband further highlighted the name of the person who made the threats and the place where he works as an employee. Thereafter, many social media users went to the company's social media handles and slammed the firm for hiring such people. As a result, the marketing & advertising company fired the man who issued threats against influencer Khyati Shree.
Khyati Shree's husband wrote, "This is serious. @DgpKarnataka @CMofKarnataka @DKShivakumar . 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...The person who was threatening my wife with acid attack works for Etios digital services. I don't think women are safe in this organisation."
Reacting to Bengaluru Police asked Shahbaz to send his contact details in DM so that it can take appropriate action.
