Paying Heavy Price For Being Nationalist: Abhijeet

Darpan News Desk IANS, 27 Aug, 2016 12:25 PM
    Singer Abhijeet, who was arrested in July and later released on bail, says he is paying a heavy price in the Hindi film industry for being a nationalist.
     
    A Twitter user asked him about the arrest, Abhijeet replied on the micro-blogging site: "Long ago but I never asked any support from anyone, paying a heavy price in Bollywood for being a nationalist since years."
     
    According to some media reports, on Friday the Mumbai police confirmed that the singer was arrested last month after a complaint against him for harassing a woman journalist on Twitter.
     
    The police had registered an FIR against the singer on the basis of the complaint filed by Aam Aadmi Party National Executive Member and Spokesperson Preeti Sharma Menon. The FIR was filed on charges of public obscenity and outrage of modesty.
     
    Menon had tweeted to the police commissioner about the singer’s use of obscene language on social media towards the woman journalist.
     
    CP (cyber) Sachin Patil said, “Abhijeet was arrested in July on the basis of the FIR against him for online abuse. However, since it was a bailable offence, he was given bail soon after the arrest.” The police had registered an FIR in the second week of July after the singer had allegedly used abusive language while interacting with a woman.
