The popularity of a Facebook event which called for people to meet at Connaught Place, New Delhi, and shout Bol Na Aunty Aau Kya, a viral rap song by Omprakash Mishra has stumped many. With hundreds actually turning up for the event and shouting out the misogynistic song it looked like Omprakash had more fans than anticipated.

On Wednesday, Quint Neon, in a video featuring reporter Deeksha Sharma, called out the song for its crass and violent sexism. Bol Na Aunty Aau Kya or Aunty Ki Ghanti is essentially a rape threat and endorses the thinking that the ‘aunty’, who could be any woman, is ‘asking for it’ by wearing skimpy clothes and having a desirable ‘figure’.

YouTube has since taken down Omprakash’s video, and the error message lists a copyright claim by ‘Smokedlime’.
