.@mumbaipolice arrested @abhijeetsinger on my complaint on 26/07, released him on bail later. Serves him right @bainjal
According to a startling revelation, singer Abhijeet Bhattacharya, was arrested in July and had his phone confiscated by the Mumbai police for abusing journalist Swati Chaturvedi on Twitter.
He was later bailed out by his son, during which the singer apparently cried. News of his arrest in July spread like wildfire on Friday (August 26) when AAP leader Preeti Sharma Menon, in a series of tweets, referred to the Twitter abuse incident.

Soon, a Twitter war betwen Abhijeet and Swati filled with abuse and counter-abuse began. A non-cognizable complaint was filed against Abhijeet at New Delhi’s Vasant Vihar station but to no avail.
However, AAP leader Preeti Sharma Menon soon joined the furore and after a point, Menon went ahead and complained to the Mumbai cyber cell. Abhijeet was arrested, surely, but not before his entire reputation was destroyed, all because of his fault.
This is not the first time Abhijeet has been embroidled in controversy. In 2015, Abhijeet’s tweeted his support for Salman Khan who had just been sentenced to five years in prison for the 2002 hit-and-run case.
