Hours after singer Abhijeet Bhattacharya was back on Twitter with a new account, the social networking site has suspended his new account handle @singerabhijeet again.

Twitter had earlier suspended Abhijeet's verified account last Tuesday after many users reported that he was tweeting using "inappropriate" and "insulting" language against many women including JNU leader Shehla Rashid.

Known for his hyper-nationalistic stand and infamous for being abusive towards women, Abhijeet had confirmed the new account's authenticity by posting a video where he alleged that people were curbing his voice.

"This is my new Twitter account. Till the time my verified account is not active please follow me on this Twitter account. All other accounts by my name are fake and are trying to malign my reputation," Abhijeet said

The singer spoke to news agency ANI on Monday evening, where he said, "It's because of us that Twitter gets followers, not the other way round. But people who don't have any followers are running Twitter, who have made it a platform to voice out their opinions."

"I know many users who abuse a person left, right, and centre but still their accounts are never suspended. What I said was just 'Besharam Budhia' or supported Paresh Rawal on his tweet regarding Arundhati Roy..and still my account was suspended," he added

Abhijeet's colleague in the industry Sonu Nigam had also quit Twitter, extending support to his friend.
