NEW DELHI: ‘Dangal’ star Zaira Wasim will get security cover if the Jammu and Kashmir government recommends it, Union Minister Kiren Rijiju said on Wednesday.
Rijiju’s remarks came a day after another Union minister, Jitendra Singh, said the J&K government is keeping an eye on all developments related to Zaira Wasim, and that if needed, security will be provided for her.
Zaira had issued an apology, a day after meeting Chief Minister Mehbooba Mufti, stating that she didn’t intend to hurt anyone’s sentiments.
While Zaira is avoiding taking to the media, she has pulled down the apology from her Facebook wall and subsequent posts to clarify that nobody pressurised her to apologise.
Though Zaira didnt speak on what provoked her to apologise, it seemed that her meeting with Mehbooba Mufti caused the stir.
The 16-year-old girl, who played Aamir Khans daughter in the blockbuster Dangal, went a step further writing on her Facebook wall that she doesnt deserve to be anyones role model.
Condemning the incident Deputy Chief Minister Dr Nirmal Singh said on January 17 that the girl would be provided police protection.
Police Not to File Case
Jammu and Kashmir Police Wednesday said that it has no plans to investigate the trolling case of actor Zaira Wasim as neither she nor her family has come up with any complaint before police.
The Deputy Inspector General of Police, Ghulam Hassan Bhat clarified that neither Zaira nor her family has come up with any complaint before police and ruled out the possibility of any investigations into the case on mere assumptions. This case doesnt require any investigation, why to drag police into everything, the DIG told a New Delhi based news portal Inuth.
When told that there were complaints of Zaira being threatened by some trollers, the police official said that the case cant be registered on the basis of mere assumptions. We cant investigate the case on hearsay of intimidation by someone when the person who was trolled has no problem, the police added.
