Tamanna Malik and her husband Aman Tyagi received threats after they performed a ritual during Mahashivaratri while wearing burqas.
In the Sambhal district of Uttar Pradesh, Tamanna Malik and her husband Aman Tyagi faced serious threats after they were seen performing rituals during Mahashivaratri while dressed in burqas. The couple sought assistance from the local police station, Asmoli, to file a complaint regarding the threats they received, citing concerns for their safety. They have claimed to be residents of the village of Badnapur Basei in the Asmoli area, where theyไน initially garnered public attention for their choice of attire while participating in the religious observance.
The threats reportedly originated from radical elements on social media, where they were targeted with explicitly violent messages. In their complaint, the couple alleged that they were threatened with death and being burned alive as part of a coordinated intimidation campaign against them. They also mentioned that videos containing threats were shared to instill fear within them, demonstrating how online platforms can be used as tools for hate and intimidation.
Given the nature of the threats and the potential risks posed to their family, Tamanna has demanded formal action from the police, including filing a First Information Report (FIR) against the perpetrators. They are seeking protection for themselves and their family, highlighting the growing concerns over personal safety amid rising extremism and intolerance in society when it comes to religious expressions that diverge from traditional norms.
