[1] Dhanya Rajendran started her career by working for Kerala's first 24-hour news channel India Vision in 2003.

The Network for Women in Media, India and International Federation of Journalists issued statements in support of Rajendran and condemned the online harassment she had to face.

[12] The Chennai police investigated Ramkumar, one of the accused, a Vijay fan and a Tamil Nadu resident in connection with the online harassment.

He apologised for his deed after the police met his mother and the denial of his bail by the Madras High Court.

[16] In response to her reportage, the followers made several news videos by calling her choicest of abuses including presstitute, anti-national among others.

Immediately after former chief minister of Tamil Nadu J Jayalalitha's death, she wrote a piece about how she was molested by one of her security men when she was out to do stories around election coverage.

She has said that journalists should exercise restraint and shouldn't publish graphic details of a sexual crime since it is not of use to anyone, least of all to the victim or the survivor.
