Case Against Bhim Army's Seema Singh After Viral Video Of Remarks Against CM Yogi

Who is Seema Singh: A case was reportedly registered against the Uttar Pradesh women state president of Ambedkarite organisation Bhim Army after a video of her allegedly issuing threats to Chief Minister Yogi Adityanath went viral on social media this week.

Reports suggest police in Bareilly have taken cognisance of the issue and applied relevant sections of the Information Technology (IT) Act in probing the case.

Identifying herself as Seema Singh, the woman in the two-minute 20 seconds clip makes remarks against the UP Superintendent of Police and the Deputy Superintendent of Police saying she will "break their rank stars with her hands and hang them in the middle of the street."

She is further heard saying she will plant a bomb on Adityanath, and demands he stop atrocities against Dalits. "Teri Thakur-giri nikaal doongi," she adds. She points to her face and asks him to remember it for the coming future.

Know Who Is Seema Singh And Why She Is Making Headlines

According to a report by Dainik Jagran, a dispute broke out on September 19 in Bareilly between two parties which resulted in the arrest of one Bunty involved in the incident. Singh had reportedly urged police to release Bunty but was refused. In the viral video that she recorded soon after, she is heard bringing up the matter and questioning police over their capture of Bunty.

Singh throws a challenge of toppling Adityanath in six months, in the clip. She also raises the issue of inaction in cases of sexual violence against women in the state.

Police said a case was registered against Singh a day later at Sirauli station in UP and investigation is underway.

Singh's video has drawn wide reactions online, particularly on Twitter, where users are calling for strict action against her. Many tagged police authorities on her video when it first surfaced.
