Earlier this year, Bollywood star Salman Khan was appointed as India's Goodwill Ambassador for the Rio Olympics.

While some were not very enthusiastic about Bhai's new role, the likes of Abhinav Bindra and Mary Kom backed the Indian Olympic Association's decision.

Bindra congratulated Khan on being appointed.

Dear @BeingSalmanKhan , am sure you will use your tremendous goodwill to help Indian Olympic Sport and Olympic athletes (cont..)

But ace Indian wrestler and London Olympics bronze medallist, Yogeshwar Dutt, wasn't too impressed and made his feelings clear by posting a series of tweets on his Twitter account.

Ambassador का क्या काम होता है कोई मुझे बता सकता है क्या. क्यूँ पागल बना रहे हो देश कि जनता को.😡 https://t.co/vtjb0XWdP8

So, when Dutt suffered a shock exit in the first round of the 65kg freestyle category at Rio, the opportunity was perfect for the Salman Khan Twitter Fan Army to unleash its pent up fury on him.

They pounced on him.

#YogeshwarDutt had become more famous by criticising Salman Khan on brand ambassador than his Olympic performance.

While Dutt's supporters stood by his side.

Salman fans accusing #YogeshwarDutt after his defeat. They r thinking that winning a Gold Medal in Olympics is very easy like Sultan.

There should be a separate nation for Salman Khan fans. For them Salman is above India's pride.

On Tuesday, Dutt got back at the trolls in a Facebook Live video that he posted on his official page. He apologised to his fans for performing poorly. Then, addressing Salman Khan fans, he said, "Kutton ko bhaunkne ka pura haq hai hamare Hindustan mein." Translation: "Dogs have the full right to bark in India."

Ouch!
