Actor Rayya Labib abused, threatened by Instagram user, files police complaint

MUMBAI: Bollywood actor and model Rayya Labib on Thursday late evening said she was threatened and abused by an Instagram user who posted obscenities and threatening comments on her social media profile.

While her Instagram account is locked and she does not have access to the same as it was hacked, (Read Here), a user whose post mentions he is from Bhopal sent her abusive and threatening messages.

Rayya, whose Instagram account was hacked on Wednesday late evening, was trolled and hassled by Sheezan Khan’s fans and others.

The 27-year-old, Mumbai-based, Assam-born actor’s legal team is filing a police complaint against the threatening and abusive messages, her publicist said.

In a statement issued by her management on Thursday morning, Actor Rayya Labib squarely blamed Tv actor Sheezan Khan’s over jealous fans for the mischief.

The statement said Rayya’s Instagram account, which is 5 years old, was hacked by Pakistani or North Indian fans and hackers supporting Sheezan M. Khan who had earlier threatened her with very abusive language on her Instagram posts.

The account which was managed by Rayya as well as her social media team was locked out and no amount of tweaking or password reset attempts could solve the problem.

“I tried to change my password and other ‘account details’, but the hacker has changed everything. I am not able to reset my password or gain access to my Instagram account. I suspect this mischief is played by some Sheezan Khan fans as I have been speaking against the Tv actor for the last few days in the Tunisha Sharma suicide case,” Rayya said.

She filed a written police complaint on Thursday evening with the Mumbai police at the Oshiwara police station, her manager and publicist informed.
