Singer Abhijeet is at the centre of a controversy for hurling abuses at a woman journalist after he got involved in a Twitter fight with her and other media persons. The controversy started after Abjijeet, bizarrely, called the murder of a techie in Chennai, a case of Love Jihad, wrongly suggesting that her attacker was a Muslim. When journalist Swati Chaturvedi and other Twitter users pointed out that he should be arrested for unnecessarily stoking communal hatred, Abhijeet lashed out with choicest abuses calling her “an old woman” in his expletive-filled rant. Chaturvedi said Mumbai Police has reached out to her and assured a strong action against Abhijeet. Chaturvedi said that the singer’s tweets were “just obscenities and profanities” and she would file an FIR against him.
