Following abuse of a woman journalist by his fans on Twitter, Tamil superstar Vijay issued a statement, condemning the "disgraceful" comments. He urged that such comments shouldn't be posted by anyone.

In a statement issued on Wednesday night, the 'Mersal' actor said, "In society, I respect women the most. In my opinion, whatever the circumstances, no one should reveal contemptuous or disgraceful comments on women. I urge everyone not to post anything on the internet with the instinct that harms women."

The journalist had approached the police against her online trolls when she received rape threats on Twitter.

Police have registered cases under sections 354 (D), 506 (1), 507 and 509 of the IPC, Section 67 of the Information Technology Act, Section 4 of the Tamil Nadu Prohibition of Woman Harassment Act and Section 6 of the Indecent Representation of Women Act, 1986 against several handles.
