Mumbai: Popular TV actress Devoleena Bhattacharjee shared a long post on social media to slam the trolls, who passed derogatory comments against a minor victim in Pearl V Puri’s alleged rape case. The ‘Bigg Boss 13’ contestant lambasted the users for leaking the identity of the girl and flooding her mother’s Instagram posts with their comments.
"Now her identity like name, picture, her mom's profile everything is revealed by known personalities. So you can imagine what is happening there? As we all believe in democracy and right to speech gives all the leeches the right to slut shaming even if she is a kid,” she wrote.

Devoleena said that people should let the court announce its judgement in the case. She added, “This is the truth of today's society. I really wonder what if a common man would have revealed any victim's identity like this who is a known personality. The scenario would have been the same? Why can't we just let the court decide and wait for the justice to prevail.”
