Ridiculing Prime Minister Narendra Modi and Rajasthan Chief Minister Vasundhara Raje Scindia, Amu said, “I want to congratulate Meerut youth for announcing Rs 5 crore bounty for beheading Deepika, Bhansali. We will reward the ones beheading them, with Rs 10 crore, and also take care of their family's needs.â€Â
