Kolkata Police have arrested Bittu Srivastava for allegedly cyberbullying Bengali actor Shubhashree Ganguly following her meeting with football legend Lionel Messi during his visit to Kolkata.
Ganguly faced a wave of abusive and obscene comments online. Her husband, TMC MLA Raj Chakraborty, reported the harassment and derogatory remarks against her to the police.

Srivastava was taken into custody on December 27 and will remain with police for two days as they dig deeper into the case.
