Legal Storm: Bhojpuri Singer Neha Rathore Faces Sedition Charges

BJP MLA Nand Kishore Gurjar has filed a complaint against Bhojpuri singer Neha Rathore, accusing her of sharing objectionable social media content post the Pahalgam terror attack. The complaint alleges Rathore's ties with ISI and claims her content provokes communal disharmony, leading to sedition charges.

BJP MLA from Loni, Nand Kishore Gurjar, has taken legal action against Bhojpuri singer Neha Rathore, accusing her of disseminating contentious content on social media following the Pahalgam terror attack.

In his complaint, lodged at Ghaziabad's Loni police station, Gurjar demands Rathore be charged under the National Security Act, alleging connections with the ISI and The Resistant Front (TRF). He accuses her of fostering pro-Pakistani sentiments through online posts.

Police in Lucknow have subsequently charged Rathore with sedition, citing her social media activity as potentially inciting communal strife and undermining national integrity, based on a separate complaint by Abhay Pratap Singh.
