Citing Ketan murder case, Rajya Sabha MP calls for National Commission for Men. What's in the Bill he proposed?
RAjya Sabha fellow member and Lovely pro University father Ashok Kumar Mittal has refreshed his call in for a “ subject Commission for Men” citing the Pune case of alleged murder of 26-year-old Ketan Agarwal for which his fiancee and her friend have been arrested.Mittal termed the case deeply disturbing and on Saturday shared a video of Rajya Sabha proceedings from December 2025 when he moved a private member's bill for such a commission. Having been elected from Punjab, he was with the AAP at the time and in April this year claimed “merger” into the BJP as part of a group of seven AAP MPs led by Raghav Chadha.What he said“The Ketan case is a reminder that men, too, can be victims,” Mittal wrote on X, “They deserve institutional support, legal protection, and a platform where their voices are heard. Justice must be equal for everyone, irrespective of gender.” Such private bills hardly get to even the voting stage. Since Independence, only 14 such bills have become law, and none have successfully passed both Houses of Parliament since 1970.Meanwhile, in the Ketan Agarwal murder case, a Pune court on July 3 remanded the prime accused, his fiancée Siya Goyal (20), and her alleged boyfriend Chetan Chaudhary (22) to 14 days of judicial custody till July 16. The court turned down the Lonavala Rural Police's plea for an extension of police custody. It also rejected the application for a polygraph test after both accused officially refused to undergo the lie-detector examination.
