Outspoken SingerSonaMohapatrahas approached the police after a Sufi foundation sent her a "threatening email" over her latest single "Tori Surat", a rendition of Ameer Khusrau's famous Sufi song.
Sona, who has been vocal on various social issues and controversies and attacked Salman Khanafter his conviction in the blackbuck poaching case, took to Twitterto draw the Mumbai Police's attention to the email from the Madariya Sufi Foundation
"Respected @CPMumbaiPolice, I have been sent a threatening email notice from the Madariya Sufi Foundationdemanding that I take down a music video that has been passed by the censor board of Indiaand I would like to forward the same to your official email id along with my response," she said on Twitteryesterday.
She added that the foundation claimed her video was vulgar and would "flare communal tensions".
The Singeralso claimed that the police had not taken any action when she reached out to them to complain about death and rape threats she received on Social Mediafor her comments on Salman.
"The last time I shared my phone number with the @MumbaiPolice was when I was getting rape, mutilation, death & acid attack threats during the Salman controversy. I am sorry to say that no real help or remedy came my way sir, @CPMumbaiPolice. Thankful I am safe despite the same," she wrote.
The police responded to Sona's tweets asking her to "lodge a complaint at the nearest police station".
"Headed to the police station in my neighbourhood to sort out this matter. Thank you @MumbaiPolice for calling me and giving direction," she replied.
After Salman's conviction, Sonahad asked on Twitterwhether his "daddy" would apologise on his behalf and what the "suck ups" in the industry would do.
"When's bail? When's the next block buster release? Dabangg'concert' tour dates? Bigg Boss Charitydrives," she had tweeted.
The Singerwas relentlessly trolled after the tweet.
