He was later bailed out by his son, during which the singer apparently cried. News of his arrest in July spread like wildfire on Friday (August 26) when AAP leader Preeti Sharma Menon, in a series of tweets, referred to the Twitter abuse incident.

It all began when Swati blamed Abhijeet for giving a Chennai-based techie's murder a 'communal tangent'. Abhijeet had shared news of the murder in question, calling it an action borne out of 'love jihad' for no reason.

Soon, a Twitter war betwen Abhijeet and Swati filled with abuse and counter-abuse began. A non-cognizable complaint was filed against Abhijeet at New Delhi's Vasant Vihar station but to no avail.

However, AAP leader Preeti Sharma Menon soon joined the furore and after a point, Menon went ahead and complained to the Mumbai cyber cell. Abhijeet was arrested, surely, but not before his entire reputation was destroyed, all because of his fault.

This is not the first time Abhijeet has been embroidled in controversy. In 2015, Abhijeet's tweeted his support for Salman Khan who had just been sentenced to five years in prison for the 2002 hit-and-run case.

However, his tweets went like this:

In October, later that year, Abhijeet was involved in a molestation case.

In that very month, Abhijet called esteemed Pakistani singer Ghulam Ali a 'dengue artist' from a 'terrorist country'. This was around the time Shiv Sena cancelled Ghulam Ali's concert in Mumbai.

This is not the first time Abhijeet has ranted on Twitter against Pakistan. The singer's transformation from being Shah Rukh Khan's voice to becoming a sanskari troll is right there in public view on Twitter. In July, Abhijeet was at his very best:

Here are some of Abhijeet's best moments on Twitter:

Perhaps, what is most embarrassing is his clingy attempts to get close to the BJP by making random political commentary on the Balochistan issue that Prime Minister of India Narendra Modi brought up in his Independence Day Speech.

My tribute to d great #Balochistan leader #ShaheedNawabAkbarBugti, on his 10th death anniversary. May his dream come true #India4Baloch abhijeet (@abhijeetsinger) August 26, 2016

Here's hoping singer Abhijeet gets well soon and goes back to doing the only thing he can do well - singing; not trolling on Twiiter because that shit can land you up in jail!

Oh, and yes, he can consider being funny from time to time rather than being angry and idiotic. Though his sense of humour isn't really that great.
