Overview
- Chinmayi Sripaada posted a seven‑minute video on X in which she said a social‑media user openly wished death on her three‑year‑old son and urged others to join in.
- She says the tweet was the final straw that prompted her husband, actor‑filmmaker Rahul Ravindran, to delete the X app and leave the platform.
- Chinmayi told viewers the harassment tracks to her long‑standing advocacy for survivors of sexual assault and to heated exchanges in Telugu‑language X communities.
- Reports so far rely on Chinmayi’s on‑camera account; news outlets have not independently verified the threatening user’s identity or reported any police complaint or platform enforcement.
- The episode highlights risks to the families of public advocates and raises questions about how social platforms police violent threats, what redress victims can get, and whether more protections are needed.
