Supreme Court lawyer and women's rights activist Kirti Singh described Supriyo's tweets as shameful and misogynistic. "It is a view that you don't expect anyone, particularly someone in a position of authority, to voice. I am totally flabbergasted and surprised that anyone should undermine the seriousness of a criminal offence. This is despite the fact that there have been serious consequences on women, like acid attacks and murders," she said. AIPWA secretary Kavita Krishnan tweeted "...it's criminal act of stalking and threatens safety, life of the woman."
