Social media attention, centre of a controversial marriage, and now death threats. A face that went viral on social media once, is allegedly facing death threats even after taking refuge in a different state.
Viral Kumbh Mela sensation Monalisa Bhosle says she fears for her life in Madhya Pradesh and wants to remain in Kerala after her marriage to Farmaan Khan sparked a prolonged legal and political controversy.
Threats to life
During an interview with The News Minute, Monalisa claimed that she and her husband have received repeated death threats through calls and messages after the marriage.
She also claimed videos have surfaced online showing people abusing the couple and beating their photographs with slippers.
She alleged people have warned that she and her husband would be killed if they returned to Madhya Pradesh.
Refuses to return
She said Madhya Pradesh Police recently wanted to bring her back to the state.
Monalisa refused, saying she does not feel safe returning.
Interfaith marriage with legality in question
Monalisa’s marriage to Farmaan triggered controversy after her family alleged she was a minor at the time of the wedding.
The claims led to investigations across two states, an abduction case against Farman and a prolonged legal dispute over Monalisa’s age.
Monalisa maintains that she married of her own free will and disputes the allegations made by her family. Earlier, she had also claimed that her birth details were forged as she was born at her home and not at a hospital.
Monalisa has already approached the Madhya Pradesh High Court challenging the cancellation of her birth certificate.
Protection from Kerala HC
On June 3, The Kerala High Court granted transit anticipatory bail to Farmaan in a criminal case registered by Madhya Pradesh Police following a complaint filed by her father.
The court directed that Farmaan shall not be arrested until the expiry of the one month.
The Madhya Pradesh Police case alleges that Monalisa was a minor at the time of marriage and that Farmaan obtained the marriage certificate through fraudulent means.
Earlier, the Kerala High Court granted interim protection from arrest to the couple after examining the marriage certificate produced by them.
In the recent interview, Monalisa said she now wants to continue living in Kerala, where she feels safer, and has no plans to return to Madhya Pradesh.
