Singer-composer Amaal Mallik has expressed his strong reaction to the recent shocking Ketan Agarwal murder case, saying that while India has stronger laws to protect women, they should not be misused to manipulate the system.
Taking to X (formerly Twitter), Amaal penned a lengthy note addressed to women, expressing his thoughts on gender, accountability and the recent murder case that has sparked nationwide outrage.
He wrote, 'DEAR WOMEN! For generations it's been the case that you all have been through shit because of us MEN. I'm SORRY, and I SUPPORT the RAGE you all COLLECTIVELY have towards men, and yes it is NECESSARY to FIGHT for yourself against OPPRESSION, but please keep it limited to the A******S that try keep you down, try to own & treat you like 'DOMESTICATED ANIMALS...' &; Tell you how to look and what to BLOODY wear!
He added, “LABELLING anything & everything as TOXIC and not taking ACCOUNTABILITY is precisely why we miss out on the REAL SIGNS. PHYSICAL ABUSE on either side is toxic, running after MONEY instead of EMOTIONS is toxic, running behind a SOCIAL MEDIA marriage is toxic, DESTROYING some one when you had no INTENTION of pursuing that person is TOXIC.”
He further putting his firm stance, wrote, ““Do you think MEN want anything except PEACE? SEX IS EVERYWHERE. You ALL have a whole list of WHAT YOU WANT specially when it's your WEDDING and PROPOSAL CEREMONY.”
He added, “Do you want a WEDDING FOR INSTA or a REAL MARRIAGE. Can you handle a sweet honeymoon in LONAVALA, or do you feel NO if he LOVES me he will take me out of INDIA. FAIR ENOUGH - We all want the GOOD LIFE. BUT Does TRUE LOVE, TRULY feel DIFFERENT on an island in MALDIVES?
The singer further wrote, “This MAN didn't deserve this, look at his smile and his EYES.. See how HAPPY he was to MARRY HER... KETAN AGGARWAL seemed so PURE & ENDEARING.”
In another post, Amaal added, “The amount of effort she put into killing him is insane. Only a fraction of it was needed to say no - 'My heart belongs elsewhere and I'm in love with another man.”
He added, “Then if he got crazy and didn't understand, you could tell it to your family and involve them too. No one can force an educated and earning woman anywhere in the world from going against her will.”
He further mentioned, “The laws in India are better for women than men, but why misuse and manipulate the system. Only a man that's a 'WIMP' will plan and plot this shit on another man.”
He added, “The audacity of these two to think that they can live a happy life after taking away someone's kid! A life is lost. Families are shattered. Monsters.”
The singer's remarks come amid the ongoing investigation into the murder of Pune-based businessman Ketan Agarwal.
Until now, the police have alleged that the 26 year-old not was allegedly murdered during a trip to Lohagad Fort, with his fiancee Siya Goyal and her alleged lover Chetan Chaudhary accused of conspiring to kill him. The case has triggered widespread debate on social media, while the investigation continues.
