Abhishek Anand, better known online as @randomsena, has built an empire of hate-fueled trolling, doxxing, and other forms of harassment under the guise of defending Hinduism. According to Decode, Anand describes his work as a “raid,” claiming he left a job that paid him 50,000 rupees a month to dedicate himself full-time to harassing those he labels “anti-Hindu.”

Operating with impunity, he has cultivated a massive following across platforms, including 562.4K followers on X (formerly Twitter), 210K on Telegram, and 471K on YouTube. His social media presence is a toxic cesspool of communal hate and casteist slurs.

Abhishek Anand’s X bio boldly proclaims: “Combating Anti-Hindu Narrative. Forced 100+ Influencers to delete their Anti-Hindu Posts. Got 143+ Adharmis arrested.” His digital footprint is extensive, with multiple platforms serving as rallying points for his hateful campaigns. According to Decode, his Telegram channel, Randomsena, was created in 2020 amidst nationwide protests against the Citizenship Amendment Act (CAA), and its initial posts promoted Hindutva ideology and lionized BJP leaders.

In his tweets after the Delhi riots, Randomsena posted a collage of faces of CAA protesters, including Sharjeel Imam, Umar Khalid, Safoora Zargar, and Gowhar Geelani, captioning it: “They thought they would get away after killing so many Hindus in the name of CAA protests? Under Modi government, you cannot run.” He added, “Modi doesn’t tolerate nonsense. He’s working in his own style. Before removing Article 370, he introduced the UAPA Act just to filter out these anti-nationals in our country.” The tweet accused the protesters of being responsible for violence during the Delhi riots, linking them to terrorism without providing evidence.

Over time, Anand intensified his efforts to target individuals who criticize Hindu deities or oppose his extreme views. Earlier this month, he ensured the arrest of an individual named Danish, who allegedly commented about bombing the Ram Mandir. Anand shared a screenshot of the comment and a tweet on his Telegram channel, urging his followers to retweet the post if they wanted Danish arrested. The tweet garnered 10k likes and 3.6k retweets, and just two days later, Danish was arrested. Anand then posted an AI-generated video of Muslims throwing stones, alongside a screenshot of Danish’s comment and police reports, celebrating the arrest.

His Telegram channel, called Randomsena, is full of messages targeting Muslims and inciting his followers to harass people. His entire focus seems to be on rallying his troll army to go after anyone who makes even the smallest mistake, like allegedly insulting Hindu gods, and ensuring they face arrest. It’s his full-time job—relentlessly targeting individuals and pushing for their punishment.

Anand has a history of using misinformation to incite communal tensions. In June 2023, after the tragic train accident in Balasore, Odisha, he baselessly claimed it was a conspiracy by Muslims, pointing to a building near the accident site and implying it was a mosque (it was actually an ISKCON temple). His posts went viral, racking up millions of views before he quietly deleted them.

Anand’s actions go beyond just targeting individuals online; he has a history of spreading harmful conspiracy theories, including the “love jihad” conspiracy theory, which falsely accuses Muslim men of luring Hindu women into relationships with the intent to convert them. One such incident involved Anand tweeting a photo of a woman with vermillion on her forehead alongside her Muslim husband, followed by an image of her wearing a hijab, and finally a third photo showing a woman’s body in a suitcase. Till date, Anand continues doing that, he posts “love jihad” posts to incite his followers.

Anand falsely claimed the Muslim man had killed his Hindu partner after converting her to Islam. The tweet garnered over 1 million views, but fact-checkers quickly debunked the story as false. The images had first been posted by @BJPBalochistan before going viral. Alt News spoke with a senior police officer in Dehradun, who confirmed that no such incident had been reported in the state.

In August, Anand shared an screenshot of an old video of a sexual assault case in Bengaluru, India, with a caption claiming, “This is what Hindu sisters are facing in Bangladesh right now.” The tweet garnered over 11.4k retweets and 21k likes. However, the claim was debunked by Alt New.

In July 2023, Randomsena incited his followers to target three Muslim men in Ujjain, falsely accusing them of spitting on a Hindu procession from their balcony. He shared a video to back up the claim, though the footage failed to show any spitting. Despite this, the tweet went viral, accumulating 158K views and over 3,000 likes. The result was the arrest of the three men, including two minors, and the demolition of their homes by municipal officials. The bulldozing was carried out with police present, accompanied by drums and Hindu devotional songs, under the pretext of removing illegal encroachments. However, the three men were eventually granted bail.

Anand, under the name Randomsena, regularly uses his Telegram channel to solicit money from his followers. He often encourages donations by stating, “If you like our work, donate to us.” He goes by the name Abhishek Anand for his bank account details. In his posts asking for donations, he boasts about his actions, claiming, “This month, we got 8 ‘adharmis’ arrested,” as a point of pride. He encourages his followers to donate if they are proud of the work being done.
