Swati Maliwal shared some screenshots of the objectionable comments on Vamika and Ziva.
“Some accounts are making lewd comments by posting pictures of daughters of two big players of the country Virat Kohli and Dhoni on Twitter. Such nasty things about a 2-year-old and 7-year-old girl? If you don’t like a player, will you abuse his daughter? Issuing notice to police to register FIR,” the DCW chief tweeted.
