Post the tragic demise of Sushant Singh Rajput Karan Johar found himself in the firing line as many blamed the ace director for the demise of the Kedarnath star. Kjo was subjected to severe trolls online and as per the latest reports, Karan is planning to take legal action against online trolls. He has also been subjected to online threats amid nepotism debate. Now, the filmmaker is working on giving a befitting answer to those trolls. Talking about it, one of Karan's close aide stated, "Karan is actively pursuing legal action. A team of lawyers, as well as online tech experts, have come together to see this through. 

The tech people in the team are tracking the social media handles that are trying to intimidate him through violence. They want to unearth these accounts, fake and real and submit the evidence to the relevant authorities. The comments got out of hand when people started to threaten physical harm and abuse to his children and gave rape threats against his mother."

 if anyone is caught abusing or writing violent messages online would be liable to pay lakhs of rupees as fine along with the hefty imprisonment that comes with it under Section 67 of the IT Act and Section 507 IPC of the Indian legislation.Meanwhile, Karan has been off social media since Sushant's death. His last post was condolence to the late actor. Karan has been accused of running Bollywood mafia gang by netizens and recently by Kangana Ranaut during an interview.
