Kashmiri Pandit loses job, slapped by FIR for inflammatory comments

Two tweets posted by a Kashmiri man talking against a certain community proved costly for him. Ashish Kaul, a Kashmiri Pandit, had posted the tweets supporting trafficking, 'at will' rape and maiming of Kashmiri Muslim women. After Twitter users flagged them, his employer suspended him, Twitter took down his account, and Jammu & Kashmir Police registered an FIR against him.

Action taken
Later, DDI asked him to resign for his inflammatory tweets

After suspending Kaul, the Delhi branch of US-based HR consultancy firm Development Dimensions International (DDI) launched an internal probe against him. Eventually, he was asked to resign for his inflammatory tweets. Company CEO Tacy Byham and President David Tessmann-Keys issued a statement confirming the move, and emphasized, "This individual's opinions were his alone, and don't reflect our values."

Twitter Post
Journalist Nidhi Razdan and several others applauded the strict action

So a man named Ashish Kaul, who spewed hate and propagated violence on social media, is sacked by his company. Full statement below. Kudos to the company for acting on this. Let this be a warning to all https://t.co/XOg8yp0RSN
