Twitter Suspends Abhijeet’s Second Account Too
Mumbai: Singer Abhijeet Bhattacharya who returned to Twitter with a new account on Monday has once again been barred from the social media platform. His new account @singerabhijeet was suspended by Monday night.
In a video posted on his new account on Monday, he said, "People are trying to suppress my voice. I am against those who try to speak against the nation and the Indian Army. This is my new Twitter account. Till the time my verified account is not active, please follow me on this Twitter account. All other accounts by my name are fake and are trying to malign my reputation."
Previously, singer's Twitter account was suspended on May 23 over sexist and offensive remarks targeted at some women users, particularly JNU student-activist Shehla Rashid. Abhijeet had implied in a tweet that shehla was a sex worker. "There is rumour she took money for two hours and didn't satisfy the client... big racket," he earlier tweeted.
