Lucknow: The Uttar Pradesh Police sought explanation from a Bhojpuri singer for taunting Yogi Adityanath government with a satirical song over the death of a mother and daughter during eviction in Kapur last week.

Neha Singh Rathore’s new song, a variant of her viral song 'UP Mein Ka Ba', mentioned Pramila Dixit, 45, and her daughter Neha, 20 died in their hut after it was set on fire, allegedly, by the police.

On Tuesday night police knocked at her door serving her a notice to reply in three days, accusing her of creating ‘a situation of disharmony and tension’ in the society, according to NDTV.

She was asked to confirm the singer in the video and if she penned the lyrics and stood by them at all, adding if she was aware of ‘the impact of the video on society’.

"This song has created enmity and tension in society, and you are legally bound to make your stand clear on the issue. So, you are required to file your reply within three days of receiving the notice," the notice reportedly said.

It further said that a case will be registered if the singer’s reply is not found satisfactory, initiating legal action against her.

Rathore emerged with her viral song 'UP Mein Ka Ba' taunting the Adityanath government ahead of last year's elections.

She has brought out many satirical pieces including those on other politicians like Bihar's Nitish Kumar and Lalu Yadav.

Former Uttar Pradesh Chief Minister Akhilesh Yadav and Delhi's Deputy Chief Minister Manish Sisodia criticized UP government for taking action against Neha Singh Rathore.
