Mr Shorey took to Twitter and shared screenshots of electronic communication with a man, who claimed himself to be Suraj Thakur, who asked him to "delete the content from all social media platforms or else face the wrath of the consequences."

"This is on the instruction of Shri Bhai Jagtap, MLC (Maharashtra), Hon. President, Mumbai Congress. I am Suraj Thakur, you can search who am I and what am I and would like to talk n discuss with you regarding your tweet posted today in which you have made some derogatory statements defaming Gandhi/Nehru family which is quite objectionable to crores n crores citizens of the country and Congress party workers which you should kindly note. Also, I am sure you are not aware of the legal consequences you can face for using such words for a former PM. I strongly advise you to give an apology ASAP and delete the content from all social media platforms or else face the wrath of the consequences," read the screenshot of the conversation started by the Angrezi Medium actor.
