Vaibhav Suryavanshi, a 14-year-old rising cricket star, is being targeted by disturbing comments on social media after his stunning IPL century for Rajasthan Royals.
Instead of only celebrating his record-breaking performance, some users — especially women — posted sexually objectifying and inappropriate remarks about him. This has sparked a huge backlash online.
Social Media Users Demand Action
People across platforms like X (formerly Twitter) are calling out the disgusting comments. Many pointed out the double standards in society.
“If a man made these comments about a 14-year-old girl, there would be outrage and police action. Why not now?” wrote one user.
Others are tagging the police, child rights groups, and cybercrime departments, demanding action.
Legal Experts Call for POCSO Charges
Lawyers and child safety activists say the people behind these comments must be punished under the Protection of Children from Sexual Offences (POCSO) Act.
“A child is a child — boy or girl. These remarks are not just wrong, they’re illegal,” said one legal expert.
They are asking the cyber cell to identify the offenders and take strict legal steps.
Time for Equal Treatment in Online Harassment
The incident has sparked a wider conversation about gender bias in how people react to online abuse.
Many believe that boys often don’t receive the same protection or attention in such cases, even though the harm is just as serious.
