Imagine someone wrote a mean song about a special goddess and paid a singer to sing it.
The police in Mirzapur found out and arrested the person who wrote the song, Rajveer Yadav, along with two others.
They also arrested the singer who sang the song and her husband earlier.
Rajveer, who is also an editor, hid for a while.
