Ritika took to her Instagram story to condemn media houses and asked them to stop sharing the images and videos.

“Shame on you for posting images and videos of someone who’s hurt and unable to decide whether or not they want that out there. They have family and friends who were terribly affected by these images, Ritika wrote.

She also went on to say that it was insensitive to share the photos publically as Pant’s family and friends would be affected by it.

“There’s journalism and then there is plain insensitivity.”
