Chinmayi Sripaada reacts to trolls targeting her children
Chinmayi Sripaada shared a detailed video on X, addressing the abuse she and her family have faced. She revealed that the situation became more disturbing when trolls began making hateful comments about her children. The singer said her husband Rahul Ravindran reached a breaking point after seeing a post where a user allegedly wished for the death of their son and encouraged others to join in. Chinmayi said such reactions came from people who were unable to control their anger and emotions over a difference of opinion.
She also spoke about larger issues including misogyny, sexual harassment and the increasing normalisation of abusive behaviour online. According to Chinmayi, expressing disagreement is one thing but involving innocent children in such attacks crosses every boundary. Addressing those who targeted her twins Shravas and Driptah, she said, “If you ever abuse my children, I’m going to wish nothing but horror, a very long life and a horrific life at that.”

Why Rahul Ravindran faced online backlash?
The controversy began after news surfaced about the alleged murder of Ketan Agarwal by his fiancée Siya Goyal. Rahul Ravindran shared his thoughts on the case and said he did not view it as a broader systemic issue faced by men. Following his statement, several social media users criticised him and launched attacks against him and Chinmayi. The online criticism escalated to a point where some users targeted their young children.
Rahul later decided to leave X, saying the negativity had affected him deeply. He admitted that reading such comments made him uncomfortable with his own reaction and that he no longer wanted to continue using the platform.
I don’t claim to know everything bro… so educate me if I am wrong. But I don’t see atrocities of ‘women’ on ‘men’ at all. I see some horrible incidents of sociopathic human beings who happen to be women, committing horrible crimes. On the other hand… I see a self sustaining… https://t.co/dwx5Ig3kIu

Chinmayi says she will continue speaking against online hate
Chinmayi later shared screenshots of some of the messages sent towards her family. She claimed that certain social media users were targeting her children because they disagreed with her views and accused them of spreading hate against women who express opinions.
She said her husband had left the platform after receiving a message where someone allegedly called for people to pray for the death of their son. Chinmayi strongly criticised such behaviour and called people who encourage violence against children “sociopaths”. She added that she would continue responding to such attacks and would not stay silent when her children were targeted.
What happened in the Ketan Agarwal murder case?
The controversy comes after the murder case involving 26-year-old realtor Ketan Agarwal in Pune. According to reports, Ketan was allegedly pushed into a gorge at Lohagad Fort, with the incident initially appearing to be a trekking accident.
During the investigation, Pune Rural Police allegedly uncovered evidence suggesting a planned crime. Ketan’s fiancée Siya Goyal and her partner Chetan Chaudhary were arrested in connection with the case. Authorities reportedly examined CCTV footage and digital evidence during the investigation. The accused remain in judicial custody as the case continues.
