Lucknow:

A popular Bhojpuri singer has been served notice by the Uttar Pradesh Police for a satirical song that taunted the Yogi Adityanath government for its eviction drive in the state’s Kanpur, which led to the deaths of a mother and a daughter.

Singer Neha Singh Rathore recently uploaded a variation of her popular song ‘UP Mein Ka Ba’ in which she spoke of Pramila Dixit, 45, and her daughter Neha, 20, who died in their hut that was set on fire, allegedly by policemen last week.

The song prompted Uttar Pradesh Police to show up at her door, alleging that it has “created a situation of disharmony and tension” in the society. Ms Rathore has been given three days to respond to a litany of questions about the song and how it was produced.
