क्या इस शख़्स पर किसी भी तरह की कोई क़ानूनी कार्यवाही होगी, इसकी उम्मीद रखें या नही ??
जवाब का इंतज़ार रहेगा।@DelhiPolice @CPDelhi @LtGovDelhi @DCPNewDelhi @DCPSouthDelhi #Delhi #India #Women @unwomenindia https://t.co/M3CoMurulz

The accused man posted multiple videos in which he is seen passing derogatory remarks against Alka Lamba. In one video, the man openly challenged Lamba to circulate the video and see if anyone harms him. The DCP said that a team of police officials were able to locate the accused near the Bindapur police station. He was then taken in for interrogation.

After Sehrawat was arrested by the police, Lamba posted on Twitter, " six netaon sahit ye saksh bhi is waqt police ki girafat me hai. Jald bheja jaega jail....nahi milegi ab bail" ( along with six BJP members, this man is in police custody. Soon will be sent to jail, there won't be a bail this time.)

The man named Vikas Sehrawat calls himself a Hindu leader and nationalist. He had also threatened to kill journalist Ravish Tiwari and Aam Aadmi Party member of legislative assembly Amanatullah Khan.

A journalist Alishan Jafri posted a series of videos in which Sehrawat is seen making hate speeches against Alka Lamba and other politicians. Jafri claimed that one of the videos against Alka Lamba was posted by Sehrawat just a week after he was released from jail with the help of Yati Narshinghanand.
