Folk Singer Faces Threats Over Social Media Comment: MLA Under Fire

An FIR has been filed against independent MLA Ravindra Singh Bhati for allegedly threatening folk singer Chotu Singh Rawna after a social media comment. The dispute began over Rawna's criticism of Bhati. Supporters of Bhati allegedly made derogatory remarks about Rawna's family, leading to a burgeoning controversy.

An independent MLA, Ravindra Singh Bhati, is at the center of controversy after a folk singer, Chotu Singh Rawna, filed an FIR against him and five others. The allegations suggest threats and insults directed at Rawna following a social media comment critical of Bhati's attention to a child cancer patient.

The situation intensified when Bhati's supporters allegedly made derogatory remarks about Rawna's family, particularly targeting the women. The controversy stemmed from Rawna's social media comment questioning Bhati's priorities in offering support, suggesting leaders would rally for social media 'stars' over real issues.

Police confirmed the FIR was registered under specific sections and the case has been forwarded to the CID-CB for a thorough investigation. With community support rallying, the Rawna community has presented memorandums to district authorities demanding accountability from the MLA, who remains unavailable for comment.
