FIR against Rajasthan MLA Ravindra Singh Bhati for threatening folk singer
Jaipur (PTI): An FIR has been registered against independent MLA Ravindra Singh Bhati and five others for allegedly threatening folk singer Chotu Singh Rawna and insulting the women of his family, police said on Thursday.
Rawna lodged the FIR against the Sheo MLA and five others after a controversy erupted over a comment on social media.
The dispute arose after the singer made a comment on a social media post on Bhati allegedly ignoring the plea of a child cancer patient.
