    Sonam Kapoor and filmmaker Ashoke Pandit argue over Aligarh murder-case

    What's the story

    When a two-and-a-half-year-old girl was brutally murdered in Aligarh over a petty sum of Rs. 10,000, the entire country wept.

    Naturally, many celebrities from the tinsel town took to social media to express their anger and grief.

    Actress Sonam Kapoor also tweeted against the crime, but it apparently didn't go down well with filmmaker/activist Ashoke Pandit.

    Here's what happened.

    Crime

    First, the details about the case

    In a gruesome act of crime, a two-and-a-half-year-old girl was barbarically murdered in Aligarh, Uttar Pradesh over an unpaid, petty loan of Rs. 10,000.

    The toddler went missing on May 31, and the family filed a police complaint. Two days later, her body was found in a dumpster just 50-60 meters from her home.

    The body was mutilated and badly decomposed.

    Twitter Post

    Sonam posted her reaction on the heinous crime

    What has happened to baby twinkle is. Heartbreaking and horrific. I pray for her and her family. I also urge people to not make this into a selfish agenda. This is a little girls death, not a reason to spread your hate.

    — Sonam K Ahuja (@sonamakapoor) June 7, 2019

    Twitter Post

    Ashoke criticized Sonam for her old statement, she responded

    Because I practice Hinduism and I believe in karma.

    — Sonam K Ahuja (@sonamakapoor) June 7, 2019

    Twitter Post

    Sonam finally ended the conversation with this tweet

    I’m sure you have better things to do then troll me ❤️. Hope you find peace and love. Thank you for your opinions, this made my day. Ignorance is truly bliss.

    — Sonam K Ahuja (@sonamakapoor) June 7, 2019

    Personal

    Opinion: Let the country mourn in peace

    While Sonam's hypocrisy is palpable, these Twitter arguments are of no use. These stars and filmmakers already have enough glam and attention in their lives. Taking up such issues to argue or seek attention is downright shameful. So, please, let the country mourn peacefully.

    Development

    Meanwhile, the police have nabbed two accused

    Meanwhile, in the case, the UP Police have levelled charges against two accused, Zahid and Aslam, under the Protection of Children from Sexual Offenses (POCSO) Act.

    Also, given the national outrage over the crime, the case will be investigated under the National Security Act (NSA).

    Furthermore, a Special Investigation Team (SIT) has been formed to probe the case, according to senior officials.

    Work

    Separately, Sonam will next be seen in 'The Zoya Factor'

    On the work front, Sonam Kapoor will next be seen in The Zoya Factor, a romantic-comedy based on Anuja Chauhan's 2008 novel by the same name.

    The story revolves around a girl, Zoya Solanki, who becomes a lucky charm for the Indian Cricket team during the 2010 Cricket World Cup.

    Directed by Abhishek Sharma, the film also stars Dulquer Salmaan in the lead.
