Kolkata police have arrested Wajahat Khan, the man who recently filed a complaint against social media influencer and law student Sharmishtha Panoli. The arrest, made in Kolkata, comes amidst growing attention surrounding the online feud that escalated into a legal battle.
Sharmishtha Panoli, known for her active social media presence and her outspoken views, had earlier come under scrutiny following allegations made by Khan. However, in a surprising turn of events, authorities have taken action against the complainant himself.
According to sources, Khan was detained following a detailed investigation into the nature of the allegations and his own conduct in the matter. While the exact charges against him have not been officially disclosed, police confirmed that legal procedures are underway.
The case has sparked debates across social media platforms, drawing attention to issues of online harassment, defamation, and the responsibilities of influencers and users alike. Supporters of Panoli have taken to Twitter and Instagram in her defense, demanding a fair probe and transparency.
Panoli, who is currently pursuing a law degree, has not made a public statement since the arrest but is expected to respond through legal counsel.
