Twitter Suspends Singer Abhijeet Bhattacharya's Account

Singer Abhijeet Bhattacharya, who is infamous for his offensive and misogynistic tweets, doesn't have a Twitter account anymore to rant as Twitter suspended his account following complaints by social media users.

The decision was taken after social media users accused the 58-year-old singer of using ‘inappropriate' and ‘insulting' language. The singer had received flak on the social media site for a series of inflammatory tweets against journalist Swati Chaturvedi, who had registered a police complaint against him last year in July.

On May 22, Abhijeet spewed venom at some women Twitter users, including JNU student-activist Shehla Rashid, which prompted social media users to lodge a complaint with Twitter.

However, it is yet unclear if the suspension is temporary or permanent.
