Kolkata, Mar 29 (IBNS): A Kolkata-based Bengali poet, Mandakranta Sen, on Wednesday evening lodged a complaint in city police's cyber cell after she was allegedly threatened on social networking site Facebook with gang-rape, reports said.

According to reports, days after several FIRs were lodged against poet Srijato Bandyopadhyay for allegedly hurting religious sentiment through his poem, Mandakranta Sen posted a status on Facebook in solidarity with Srijato.

The young woman poet from Kolkata claimed that a person, Raja Das, threatened her with gang-rape for supporting Srijato and his poem.

"As I supported Srijato, a man- Raja Das- wrote on Facebook that I should be gang-raped," Mandakranta Sen told IBNS.

"I've already lodged a complaint at city police's cyber crime cell at Lalbazar," she added.

However, a senior official of Kolkata Police told IBNS that they are looking into the matter.
