Who Is Monika Rajpurohit?
Monika Rajpurohit, 21, is a resident of Bajrangpuri Vallabh Garden in Bikaner, Rajasthan. She is a social media influencer known as "Bikaner ki Sherni" with over 1.3M Instagram followers. She gained popularity last year after posting a video on social media in which she was seen consuming opium. The video drew widespread criticism and also led to a police investigation.
Later, Bikaner’s then-SP, IPS Tejaswini Gautam, ordered a raid at Monika’s residence, resulting in the recovery of approximately 200 grams of poppy husk. She was taken into custody and subsequently released on bail due to the small quantity of the substance involved.
Controversies have followed Monika ever since. A case involving alleged assault and attempted kidnapping was also previously reported against her but was later declared false. More recently, according to sources, several complaints of blackmailing have been lodged against her, and her mobile phone is currently under police examination, as per Navbharat Times.
