The public dispute between music composers Amaal Mallik and Tanishk Bagchi has escalated after Amaal made a series of fresh allegations on Instagram. He claimed that Tanishk allegedly promised marriage to a woman working in the A&R department of Tips Music, later abandoned her, and eventually married someone else.
Amaal further alleged that the woman is deeply disturbed and depressed because of what she went through. He said he would only reveal her identity if she decided to speak herself publicly.
At the time of writing, Tanishk Bagchi has not responded publicly to these latest allegations. The claims have not been independently verified.
Amaal alleges indirect threats
In another Instagram Story, Amaal alleged that he was being indirectly threatened using the name of Maharashtra Chief Minister Devendra Fadnavis.
He said he was not afraid because he believed he had done nothing wrong and challenged Tanishk to take the matter to court if he wished to pursue the dispute further.
There has been no public response from Devendra Fadnavis or his office regarding Amaal's allegation.
