Sonakshi Sinha has never shied faraway from speaking about online abuse and the way to form social media a secure place for all. Recently after being subjected to extreme negativity, Sonakshi Sinha in association with Mission Josh had launched a campaign called Ab Bas to spread awareness on cybersecurity, the impact of online harassment, and legal options to affect perpetrators.

Sonakshi recently opened her comments section on Instagram and urged all to refrain from any kind of harassment, but despite multiple appeals, some users continued to abuse and threaten her. Post this, Mission Josh and Ritesh Bhatia from Cyber Baap helped in identifying the harassers and Sonakshi Sinha’s team approached Cyber Crime Branch Mumbai and FIR was filed against the perpetrators on 14th August.

Earlier today, 27-year-old Shashikant Jadhav from Aurangabad was arrested. Speaking on the developments, Sonakshi recently said, "I am immensely grateful to cybercrime branch Mumbai for taking prompt action and being so supportive.
