Why Is Santy Sharma Facing Death Threats?

Addressing the death threats on Instagram, Santy Sharma wrote, "Agar mai students ke haq mein aarakshan ki baat kar raha hoon, aur uske badle mujhko jaan se maarne ki dhamki mil rahi hai toh mai kisi dhamki se darne wala nahi hu. Dhamki mujhko chup nahi kar sakti".

Elaborating further on the backlash, the rapper added, "I’m receiving death threats just because I’m speaking about reservation reform and asking questions that people don’t want to hear. I’m not against any student or any community. I’m only asking for a fair and honest discussion on the reservation system, And I will continue to speak about the truth behind the Cockroach Janata Party and its founders".

The Bigg Boss 20 rumoured contestant concluded by stating, "Threats won’t silence me. If speaking the truth comes with a price, I’m ready to pay it. Stay strong and keep asking questions".

What Is Santy Sharma’s Reservation Reform Campaign?

Earlier this month, Santy Sharma launched a public awareness initiative titled 'Reservation Hatao – August Kranti' during a press conference in Andheri West, Mumbai, alongside actor Puneet Vasishtha. The initiative aims to use social media to discuss reservation policies.

This incident follows a major digital setback for the artist in July 2026, when his official YouTube channel was permanently removed. The artist linked the removal to intense online criticism following his comments regarding a student group he called the Cockroach Janata Party (CJP).

Confirming the deletion, he noted, "YouTube has confirmed that my channel has been permanently deleted and cannot be recovered".
