\nIndian Bhojpuri singer Neha Singh Rathore has been charged with sedition and other serious offences in India after questioning the official narrative around the Pahalgam attack in Indian Illegally Occupied Jammu and Kashmir (IIOJK).
\nAccording to Indian broadcaster NDTV, a case was registered against Rathore under the Information Technology Act in Lucknow following a complaint by a citizen.
\nShe is accused of hurting the sentiments of the victims and their families through a video she posted.
\nThe charges were filed after a short video featuring Rathore circulated on platform X (formerly Twitter) and was reportedly shared by some accounts linked to Pakistan.
\nIn the video, Rathore alleged that the Pahalgam attack was a \u201cpolitical drama\u201d staged by the Indian government to gain votes ahead of upcoming elections in Bihar.
\nShe also criticised Indian Prime Minister Narendra Modi, questioning why a leader who claims to stop wars in other countries with a single phone call could not prevent a terrorist attack within India.
\nRathore further asked why the public was being discouraged from raising questions if the government\u2019s narrative was genuine.
\nAccording to India Today, the FIR also noted that Rathore\u2019s video was being used by Pakistani media and social media users for anti-India propaganda.
\nAs of the latest updates, Rathore has not been arrested, but legal proceedings under sedition, incitement of religious and racial hatred, and defamation of the government are ongoing.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
