This Man Was Fired And Deported After A Woman Tweeted The Abusive FB Messages He Sent Her
Social media has changed the way we interact in a variety of ways, both good and bad. For instance, it’s easier than ever to send a rude message to someone without so much as a second thought; on the other hand, it’s also a lot easier to get revenge for said message.
This New Delhi-based journalist received some pretty terrible messages from a pretty terrible dude on her Facebook page, so she decided to tweet out some screenshots to show people the abuse that she deals with on an everyday basis.
Just a sample of the filth i receive on my facebook page. Time to name and shame this pervert pic.twitter.com/e6xeA019JF

One message read, “Hi bitch. Spread ur legs. Filthy slut.” When she didn’t respond, he messaged her again saying, “You slut… Fuck you bitch… mother fucker…”
Ayyub’s call-to-action was definitely heard. Many people encouraged her to report him, and when his UAE-based company caught wind of it, they promptly terminated him.
But the man’s punishment didn’t stop there: he also had his visa revoked and is now being deported back to India.
UAE govt has revoked Bincy Lal's visa and r deporting him back to India. A lesson for those who harass us, will drag you out of ur ratholes

Ayyub has gotten a lot of support for her actions, especially from the Indian community for standing up against harassment and sexism.
Well done. This should be a lesson for the trolls(from any community) who use dirty and filthy language against women.

Pleasantly surprised. Hopefully this will instill some fear amongst these abusive bhakts. https://t.co/SM80wI4x2R

However, Ayyub knows that this is just a small victory in the long run.
Happy to be trending on twitter for a promising beginning. Hope we in India set a similar precedence of zero tolerance towards harassment.

You go, girl! Now let’s hope this becomes a new thing, so we can crush one abusive troll at a time.
