Ahead of Bihar assembly polls, Bhojpuri superstar Pawan Singh has been surrounded by controversy, first with his wife and now potential threats to him. Pawan Singh has been provided a 'Y' category security cover by Union home ministry. He was given secutiry after intelligence reports cited potential threats to him. The Central Reserve Police Force (CRPF) VIP security wing has been asked to render the task.
This comes amid his meeting with Amit Shah, BJP national president J P Nadda, and party ally Upendra Kushwaha. The singer was first fielded from the Asansol constituency of West Bengal in the 2024 general election by the BJP. He was asked by the party to withdraw following allegations that his music video and songs depicted Bengali women in a vulgar manner.
