The challenges for folk singer Neha Singh Rathore have escalated with a FIR filed against her at Varanasi's Lanka police station over alleged derogatory remarks about Prime Minister Narendra Modi. This case arose from a complaint by a social organization, Hanuman Sena.
According to Sudhir Singh, president of Hanuman Sena, Neha Singh Rathore in her video reportedly referred to the Prime Minister with words like 'coward' and 'General Dyer,' claiming it went viral even to Pakistan. They have deemed this as sedition. Sudhir Singh asserts that their organization has submitted 500 complaints to various police stations in Varanasi.
