Bollywood singer Abhijeet has raked a fresh controversy with his abusive tweets on the Infosys murder case and personal attacks on a senior journalist. But what's more shocking is that he was egged on...
Bollywood singer Abhijeet Bhattacharya who has a penchant for being in the news with his controversial statements, has made not one, but many and raked up an all-new controversy.

His insensitive tweet, in which he tagged even the Prime Minister's Office, on the murder of S. Swathi, the Infosys techie in Chennai, has raised people's heckles.
In the the tweet, Abhijeet suggested that the murder was due to 'love jihad'.
Abhijeet is no stranger to controversy
He posted an article by a Hindu right-wing website that suggested that the murder was meant to terrorise other love iihad victims.
Abhijeet's tweet, which he has deleted since, read, "Hindu parents want #JusticforSwati /revenge 4 our child #SWATI who ws butchered by #LoveJihad."
This got him a lot of brickbats on Twitter with people condemning him and asking for his arrest.
Responding to his tweet, journalist Swati Chaturvedi tweeted, "@abhijeetsinger is jealous of Pakistani singers who took his mediocre career! Even tried to incite SS against them!"
This got Abhijeet's goat and he started ranting against her, Pakistanis and singers from the neighbouring country. What made matters worse was that he was egged on by 'right-wing' bhakts.

Swati filed an FIR with Mumbai Police's cyber cell. The Mumbai police have responded and are looking into the tweets posted by Abhijeet.

Dear, @Dev_Fadnavis how long will you allow such bigots to try & cause riots & be so abusive? @MumbaiPolice https://t.co/FpP9c0YlHH

Chaturvedi got some support from Twitterati for Abhijeet's personal attacks on her and his rants against Pakistani singers.
But as usual he got a lot of support from 'bhakts' who came out of the woodwork to egg him on. While we have included some of the posts supporting the singer, the others were too abusive and deregatory to be included.
HERE'S WHAT THEY HAD TO SAY:
Some journos want #MumbaiPolice to arrest @abhijeetsinger for trying to cause riots;By that logic,wat abt a bigot like #ShehlaRashid?#Pseuds
