FIR against singer Abhijeet Bhattacharya for ‘abusing, harassing’ journalist

TIL Desk Bollywood/ A complaint has been filed against singer Abhijeet Bhattacharya for his ‘abusive’ comments on Twitter allegedly targeting a woman journalist. The playback singer, who is at the centre of a controversy for hurling abuses at a female journalist on Twitter, had yesterday accused the latter of being an ‘anti-national,’ while adding that the war has not ended and he will give a proper reply in his defence. Bhattacharya said that the troll he got on the social media was unnecessarily, adding that he was just expressing his concern in regard with the murder of a techie in Chennai.

 “It is their profession to do all these things. They are fake journalists who do their journalism on the cost of their countries respect and dignity. I don’t know them may be she is a famous journalist but who has given them the freedom to attack personally. It is very shameful that you target our country and hail another country,” said Bhattacharya.

“It all started when I tweeted for ‘justice for Swati’ in connection with the murder case and these people gave it a communal angle. They are accusing me that I am doing it to spread riots. I don’t know if she is a renowned journalist, even if she is I am not concerned. And I would like to say that this matter has not ended here, I will not tolerate all this, I will fix you these people,” he added.

Calling the female journalist a ‘blot’ on the nation, the singer called himself a ‘Sanghi and said he is a proud Hindu and will always voice his opinion in this regard. And that he will never tolerate any anti-nationals comments. When a female journalist and other Twitter users questioned out and demanded that he should be arrested for unnecessarily stoking communal hatred, Abhijeet unleashed a tirade of abuses at her by calling her “an old woman” in his expletive-filled rant.
