Singer Abhijeet Bhattacharya has always been in news for his controversial statements and tweets. Now, the singer’s Twitter account was suspended after he posted a series of ‘offensive tweets’ against women.
Abhijeet had abused some women Twitter users, including JNU student activist Shehla Rashid, after which a complaint was filed against him. When Shehla openly discussed sex scandals involving BJP leaders, she was “abused by Abhijeet and hundreds of Sanghi trolls”.
In reply to her statement, Abhijeet had tweeted: “There is a rumour she took money in advance for two hours and didn’t satisfy the client. Big racket.”
After the singer’s account was suspended by Twitter, Shehla thanked everyone for their support through a tweet.

Abhijeet Bhattacharya told PTI that author Arundhati Roy and people supporting JNU were behind the suspension of his account. “Yes, I just saw it. They are trying to block Paresh Rawal also. All Arundhati and JNU group behind this after Paresh Rawal and I tweeted against Arundhati for her anti-India stand,” he said.
“I (don’t) care a damn… entire nation is with me,” he added.
