Bhumi Pednekar condemns rape threats against female protesters in new video; internet calls it 'damage control'

Bhumi Pednekar released a video condemning rape and death threats against a female protester whose viral interview showed her visibly shaken.

Pednekar stated the threats against the young woman and her mother are unacceptable and criticized bullying based on disagreement with opinions.

The video follows backlash over her earlier remarks criticizing protesters for using foul language against Prime Minister Narendra Modi.

Social media users called the new video 'damage control', with comments like 'Nice damage control' and 'This one should have been your 1st video'.

Pednekar's earlier video was criticized for selective outrage, as she had not supported the student-led CJP protest in Delhi.
