Model who thwarted detention of protesters alleges online harassment
Rhiya Ahir, a model who prevented police from detaining protesters at Shivaji Park on July 22, 2026, has alleged online harassment.
She submitted a written complaint to the police on Saturday and will meet a senior cyber cell officer on Monday to seek an FIR.
Ahir reported sustained harassment, bullying, abuse, and slut-shaming on social media since the incident.
Some social media creators falsely accused her of selling pornographic content via her Instagram account @rhiyaahir.
Ahir stated her bank account is not linked to exclusive subscriptions and she earned no money from such content.
