The singer tried to commit suicide at her residence on Sunday morning, however, she is now stable.

Sapna had sung a song during one of her stage performances early this year after which a complaint was filed by Satpal against her. She was accused of hurting the sentiments of a particular caste as the lyrics of the song had objectionable content.

The 21-year-old singer liver with her mother and brother in Chhawla where her family members found her health in bad shape as she was vomiting continuously.

The Hindu quotes Deputy Commissioner of Police (South-West) Surender Kumar as saying, “When they asked her, she told them that she had consumed rat poison. The family then rushed her to Cliffton Hospital in Chhawla in south-west Delhi where she is currently admitted. The family informed us around 8-30 a.m. after which we started our probe,” 

The matter is currently under investigation.
