  • Upon receiving the explicit messages, Sharmistha's initial reaction was to report Mandal and block him, although she said that if she did so, it would only cater to the offender offending other victims.

    She said that she had obtained screenshots of Mandal's messages to report them, before lodging complaints on the same.

    Sharmistha took to Facebook to post about the incident, gaining massive support.
