Right from the day the renowned rapper went missing, a massive search was conducted by his friends and fans and acquaintances to find him and believe that he’s still alive even after almost a week had passed.
Recently, a video of the rapper surfaced on the internet that saw a huge backlash from the Hindu community as the rap, that was made in 2016 showed Kode making controversial remarks about the Mahabharata. Despite an apology by him, the hate just kept increasing.
He posted that message after he was constantly being called with threats, abuse, complaints and bounties being placed on his head for being ‘Hinduphobic’.
On 4th of June, Aditya’s mother, Deepa Tiwari had filed a complaint in South Delhi’s Mehrauli police station and a case of kidnapping was registered the next day.
As reported by The Indian Express, a senior police officer said, “His mother told us he left his home in Saidullajab after posting a suicide note on Instagram. We found that his phone’s last location was in Noida on May 25. It was later switched off. We wrote to social media sites to provide Tiwari’s account details. During the investigation, we found Tiwari was in Madhya Pradesh.”
After a Week long search, MC Kode was found in Madhya Pradesh. The Indian Express reported Kode’s mother saying:
“I was informed by the SHO that he has been traced at a friend’s house. I think he must’ve tried to end his life but would have realised that this is not the route I should take, which is the right thing to happen. I also know that he is a sensible, mature person but he was really scared and he must have been in complete darkness…” Adding in, she said, “They put a bounty on his head, ordered lynching, they leaked our address, people reached the place. This means that no one is secure. I wish something is devised for abusive Twitter handles.”
