In response to Preeti’s tweet, the former singer described those criticising his abuses as ‘presstitutes.’
His tweet read, “All funded retired #presstitutes friends of #ZakirNaik want to take publicity .. Save your skin #AbusivePresstitutes.”
Abhijeet has been targetting women and other social media users, who objected to his malicious tweet wrongly blaming a Muslim for the murder of the Infosys techie, Swathi, in Chennai. The prime suspect arrested by the Chennai Police was identified as one Ramkumar.
The former singer had later threatened www.jantakareporter.com’s editor-in-chief, Rifat Jawaid of physical harm on a national TV. His threats had drawn wide condemnation from social media users.
