Kangana Ranaut's 'okay with rape, murder' counter over silence on slap row

A day after Kangana Ranaut lashed out at Bollywood (in a now-deleted post) for not supporting her over the alleged slap controversy, the actor-politician on Saturday said one must look deeper into their "psychological criminal tendencies".

In an X post, Kangana also said people who are okay with breaking into someone's intimate zone would also be okay with grave crimes like rapes and murders.

"Every rapist, murderer or thief always have a strong emotional, physical, psychological or financial reason to commit a crime, no crime ever happens without a reason, yet they are convicted and sentenced to jail," she wrote.

"If you are aligned with the criminals strong emotional impulse to commit a crime violating all laws of the land," Kangana said.

"Remember if you are ok with breaking in to someone's intimate zone, without their permission touching their bodies and assaulting them then deep down you are ok with rape or murder also because that's also just penetration or stab only what big deal, you must look deeper in to your psychological criminal tendencies, I suggest please take up yoga and meditation or else life will become a bitter and burdensome experience, don’t carry so much grudge, hate and jealousy please, free yourself," (sic) she added.

On June 6, the newly-elected BJP MP alleged she was slapped by a Central Industrial Security Force (CISF) constable at the Chandigarh airport when she was on her way to Delhi.

Identified as Constable Kulwinder Kaur, the constable was later suspended, and a case was lodged against her.

In a now-deleted post, Kangana on Friday questioned Bollywood's silence on the matter.

Following her electoral win, Kangana has become only the fourth woman ever to be elected to Lok Sabha from Himachal Pradesh, and the first woman who is not from an erstwhile royal family.

Kangana defeated her Congress rival Vikramaditya Singh, scion of Rampur state and the incumbent state public works minister, by a margin of 74,755 votes from the Mandi Lok Sabha constituency.
