Vivek Agnihotri reacts to arrest of Shankar Mishra, accused of urinating on women; says 'if it was a Khan...'

Director Vivek Agnihotri shared his views on the infamous Air India flight incident where a drunk traveller urinated on a female co-passenger. On a flight from New York to Delhi, Shankar Mishra is alleged for urinating on a woman. The accused is reportedly arrested in Bengaluru, and The Kashmir Files director shared his opinion on the matter. 

It all started when a media personality tweeted about the incident, and the person accused with the charges by saying, "So drunk biz man found urinating on Co passenger in flight is one Shekhar Mishra: what if his name was a Khan? Guess who would be doing cartwheels of outrage on prime time and social media? A Mishra or a Khan, law must be same for all as should response. Agree?. #AirIndiaHorror." 

Vivek took his tweet and shared his take on it with his quote. Agnihotri stated that the law should be equal, but if it was Khan, then the 'vulturous' media would have been treated as a victim. Vivek wrote, "The law is same for everyone. Be it Arfa or Rajdeep. It’s the media (vulture media, according to you) which discriminates. I am sure if it was a Khan, you would have called him a victim by now. Pl think and reflect." 

Here's Vivek's tweet

Dear @sardesairajdeep,
The law is same for everyone. Be it Arfa or Rajdeep. It’s the media (vulture media, according to you) which discriminates. I am sure if it was a Khan, you would have called him a victim by now. Pl think and reflect. https://t.co/slo2YXIms6
