September 7, 2021: A Delhi-based lawyer has filed a case against 38 film celebrities for revealing a rape victim’s identity.

At that point in time, netizens and several celebrities had expressed their sadness over the matter and had taken to social media to show the same.
However, some of them have reportedly landed in legal trouble now as they had revealed the name of the victim.
