Watch Video: TV actress Niharika Tiwari says she is getting death threats for condemning Udaipur beheading

Raipur: Former contestant of popular show MTV Roadies Niharika Tiwari received death threats on her Instagram account and other social media accounts for condemning brutal murder of Kanahiya Lal in Udaipur, Rajasthan.

Niharika, who belongs to Dantewada - a highly Naxal-infested district of Chhattisgarh, received threats of assassination for posting a video on her social media accounts such as Instagram and Twitter.

The TV actress has recently posted a video on her Instagram and Twitter account and said, she is totally against assassination of anyone in the name of religion.

We Hindus do not kill in the name of Lord Shiva. Such a thing was never heard that Hindu has killed someone for Shiva.

Whatever blasphemous comment Nupur Sharma had made, after that she was suspended, what about those who made objectionable comments against Shivji, Niharika commented in a video.

Several objectionable comments were made against Shivalinga, it also made us angry. People are giving threats to Prime Minister Modi, this is not correct, the model said.

After the model posted the video on June 30, she is continuously receiving death threats including slitting of her throat on her social media accounts by some unidentified Instagram and other social media users.

Some even threatened her that her countdown started and soon her number would come.

While speaking to the media, she mentioned she is also getting anonymous threatening calls, but she is not afraid.

The model is presently in Indonesia and busy shooting for a film.

On the issue of death threats, IG Bastar (range) Sundarraj P said, "I am unaware about such incidents but if protection is asked we will think about it."
