The Mumbai Cyber Cell, on Wednesday, arrested one person from Hyderabad for allegedly sending rape threats to Indian ODI and Test captain Virat Kohli's 10-month-old daughter on Twitter. The accused is being brought to Mumbai from Hyderabad.

As per news agency ANI, the 23-year-old accused has been identified as one Ramnagesh Akubathini, an IIT graduate.

Kohli had slammed trolls who attacked Mohammed Shami after India's loss against Pakistan in a T20 World Cup match.

Kohli had said in a press meet, "To me, attacking someone over their religion is the most pathetic thing that a human being can do. I have never thought of discriminating someone over their religion. That's a very sacred and personal thing to every human being and that should be left there. People take out their frustration as they have no understanding of how much effort we put on the field."

"They have no understanding of the fact that Shami has won India N number of matches in the last few years and has been our primary bowler along with Jasprit Bumrah when it comes to making an impact in Test cricket." "If people can overlook that and his passion for the country, I honestly don't even want to waste one minute of my life to give any attention to those people; neither does Shami or anyone else in the team. The team stands by him and we are backing him 200 per cent.

"All those who have attacked him can come with more force if they want to, our brotherhood, our friendship within the team cannot be shaken. I can guarantee you that as captain of the team that we have built a culture where these things will not infiltrate into the environment even .0001 per cent. That is an absolute guarantee from my side."
