Fortunately, Suhana also found supporters in the online community who are now planning to file a case against the trollers.
According to an India Today report, one of the comments on the Facebook page read, “Suhana you have tarnished the Muslim Community by singing in front of men. Do not feel that you have achieved a great feat; people who learn to recite Quran in 6 months have achieved more. Your parents have encouraged you to show your beauty to other men, they will not go to heaven because of you. Please give up the pardah that you are wearing as you don’t respect it.” Playback singer Chinmayi Sripaada raises voice against rape threats on Twitter!
