Controversies

On 6 May 2017, when sessions court in Mumbai sentenced actor Salman Khan to five years in jail in connection with the 2002 hit-and-run case, Abhijeet came out in support of Salman by tweeting \”Roads are meant for cars and dogs, not for people sleeping on them\”. This raised anger among several Twitter users as well as in popular media for allegedly making insensitive remarks as well as opening himself to criticism by members of media or others that Abhijeet is equating homeless people with dogs.

In a similar tweet, he said \”Kutta rd pe soyega kutte ki maut marega, roads garib ke baap ki nahi hai I ws homles an year nvr slept on rd\” (Dogs sleep on the road and die like dogs. Roads are not ancestral properties of poor. I was homeless for a year and never slept on roads). Abhijeet clarified to a news channel \”Nobody should die on the roads as dogs\”.

He further stated that the death of the poor man was a loss to his family members and by not sleeping on the roads such deaths can be and should be avoided. He said and so did other people on the same news channel program that sleeping on the roads/pavements is dangerous as the roads are extremely busy.

Many members of the public and media want the government to do more to help avoid such preventable incidents. Unfortunately a large number of people sleep overnight on the roads in cities in India due to the lack of means to buy or rent a house while they eke out a living doing menial labor.

In July 2016, Abhijeet was arrested by the Mumbai police and released later on bail, for allegedly abusing journalist Swati Chaturvedi online on Twitter.

The arrest was at the complaint of Aam Aadmi Party spokesperson Preeti Sharma Menon with Mumbai\’s BKC Cyber Cell. According to the Indian Express, the FIR for the online abuse was filed on charges of public obscenity and outrage of modesty.

Abhijeet Bhattacharya\’s Twitter account (@abhijeetsinger) was suspended on 23 May 2017, after he posted a series of \’offensive tweets\’, especially against women.

Sonu Nigam also deleted his account after Abhijeet\’s account was suspended. On 29th may Abhijeet re-joined Twitter with a new account(@singerabhijeet). But by evening, the new account was also suspended.
