Kaashvi and Scout Break Silence on Brutal Online Abuse, and Harassment
Kaashvi Hiranandani exposes digital abuse and demands justice. Backed by Scout, her case sparks a vital conversation on online safety and accountability.
Indian content creator and gaming personality Kaashvi Hiranandani, has taken a bold stand against the horrifying wave of online abuse she’s endured over the past year. In a powerful public statement shared on social media, Kaashvi has revealed the depth of the harassment she’s been subjected to morphed explicit images, threatening messages, and organized digital exploitation that has shaken her sense of safety and dignity.
On 13th June 2025, Kaashvi posted the following stories on her Instagram handle.
This isn’t just another influencer calling out trolls. This is a woman demanding justice and pushing for accountability in an increasingly hostile digital landscape.
It all started in September 2022, when she discovered doctored nude images of herself circulating on Instagram through accounts impersonating her, such as Ins**Kaashvi Hiranandani and KK@*shvi. What began as an invasion of her privacy quickly escalated into a coordinated campaign of digital violence.
She later discovered that these images were being distributed, and even sold on Reddit under disturbing threads like Indian*****. Her legal team traced and identified several of the perpetrators, who were later arrested by Mumbai police. Many of these individuals, though young minors have been denied bail, underscoring the gravity of the offenses.
More Than Just Images: Threats and Psychological Trauma
The harassment didn’t end there. In February 2023, Kaashvi was targeted yet again, this time through a vulgar Instagram group named Dhol****Dogs. Perpetrators, using accounts like sidd****.xml and godig*****_fc, escalated the abuse by sharing more morphed images and issuing direct threats.
“I tried reasoning with them,” Kaashvi said. “But I was met with even more threats. It was as if my dignity was being stripped away with every message they sent.”
The consistent and vulgar nature of the abuse has left deep emotional scars. But instead of retreating, Kaashvi is turning her trauma into a call for justice, as every powerful woman should.
Legal Action and No-Tolerance Policy
Kaashvi has filed multiple First Information Reports (FIRs), the latest one in December 2024. Her team continues to work closely with Mumbai Police, who are actively tracking down the new offenders. According to her statement, several harassers are now facing legal consequences, and she remains determined to bring every one of them to justice.
“I have a zero-tolerance policy for online abuse,” she stated firmly. “Anyone who participates in this kind of behavior will face the full force of the law.”
Scout Stands In Solidarity with Kaashvi
Popular esports athlete and creator Scout (Tanmay Singh) has voiced his unequivocal support for Kaashvi, condemning the toxic culture of online harassment. In his statement, he labeled the abuse as a "vile act of cowardice," emphasizing that hiding behind screens does not equate to immunity from law or morality.
"Kaashvi’s case is not isolated," Scout said. "It reflects a much larger epidemic of misogyny and disrespect in our online spaces. Her courage is not just admirable—it’s a wake-up call.”
He also mentioned that he, too, has been targeted with misinformation and defamation under the guise of free speech, and has initiated defamation proceedings in parallel.
Both Kaashvi and Scout urge people to reflect on how digital behavior impacts real lives. Their message is loud and clear: privacy is a right, not a privilege, and those who violate it will be held accountable.
To those lurking behind anonymous profiles, Kaashvi has a warning: “Your actions do not go unnoticed. We are relentless in our pursuit of justice.”
If you are faced with such a thing, know that you are not alone. Document that evidence. Report it. File an FIR. Seek legal support. And remember, silence only serves the abuser.
