Bengali singer Lagnajita Chakraborty had to face physical harassment for singing a devotional song at a private function in Kolkata. The singer claims that he was also verbally abused at the function.
Speaking to news agency ANI, Lagnajita said that after singing the devotional song ‘Jaago Ma’ from the film Devi Chaudhary Rani, one of the organizers of the event attacked her with the intention of killing her.
In this entire matter, Singer had lodged a complaint at Bhagwanpur East Police Station, after which Purba Medinipur Police took action and arrested the accused. The matter is currently under investigation.

Lagnajita is a famous playback singer of West Bengal.
Describing what happened during the program, Lagnajita says- ‘I started my show at around 7 pm and everything was going smoothly. By around 7:45 I had sung 7 songs. My seventh song was Jaago Maa, which is from the film ‘Devi Chaudharyrani’, which was released during this puja.
After this song, when I was talking to the audience, suddenly I saw that a man from the audience came running towards the stage. He came very close to my face.
She further said- ‘The school where I was performing was recording my entire concert. Which is very common, because every organizer does the same. But I don’t have access to that video recording because it is school property.
If someone finds that video and it becomes public, then everyone can see that Mehboob Malik ran towards the stage with the intention of killing me.
Simply put, he wanted to beat me. When people ran to save him and were pulling him away, he shouted, “Wake up mother, enough is enough, now sing some secular song.”

Lagnajita further said- ‘Bengali is a beautiful language, which has many words that can be used to address a person, but he called me ‘Tu’, which did not seem right to me.
This is not part of our culture. We don’t do this with any unknown person or guest. It is used for very close people or to abuse.
Let us tell you that the accused is said to be a leader of Trinamool Congress. Being a political activist, the opposition parties have given a sharp reaction on the matter. BJP had also demanded the arrest of the accused.
