'Main na thodi funny type ki hoon': Dentist who mocked Ketan Agarwal's death apologises
BHOPAL: A dentist who faced widespread criticism for making light of the death of Pune realtor Ketan Agrawal has issued a public apology , saying she has a "funny personality" and never intended to hurt anyone.
Muskan Soni came under fire after posting a video mocking Agrawal's death.
Agrawal died after falling from Lohagad Fort near Pune on 18 June, in a case that police are investigating as murder.
In a video shared online, Soni said she often jokes around in an attempt to make people laugh.
"Mein na todhi funny type ki hoon. I have a bit of a funny personality. My intention was that anyone viewing my profile, if they were feeling down, would find happiness and a boost of energy," she said.
"I know I made a mistake. It's just my nature. In the spirit of having a laugh and messing around, I ended up saying things I didn't mean."
Soni also appealed to people to stop targeting her online.
"I want to ask you all not to spread hate. I accept the hate I've received, but I don't want any more of it, because that isn't who I am or what I intended."
"Please, I don't want you guys to hate me," she said.
The apology came after All India Dental Students and Surgeons Association (AIDSA) suspended Soni from all posts and membership of the organisation for five years over what it described as "highly inappropriate, offensive, and disrespectful remarks" about the deceased.
