Mumbai FIR Names Peter Haag as Celina Jaitly Says She Cannot Reach Her Three Sons

The criminal complaint creates a new legal front in a cross‑border divorce and custody fight that could determine who controls access to the children.

Overview

  • Mumbai Police registered an FIR against Peter Haag, which was reported Thursday, charging him under sections of the Bharatiya Nyaya Sanhita for alleged physical violence, criminal intimidation and sustained harassment.
  • Celina Jaitly first filed a case under India’s Domestic Violence Act in 2025, a civil move that has continued to shape the Mumbai proceedings.
  • Peter Haag reportedly filed for divorce in an Austrian court last year, leaving the dispute split between Indian criminal and family‑law processes and parallel proceedings in Austria.
  • On July 16, Jaitly posted a throwback video of herself with her sons and wrote about ongoing trauma, saying she cannot currently contact her children Winston, Arthur and Viraaj despite joint custody claims.
  • The case raises practical and legal questions about cross‑border enforcement, custody access and evidence gathering, so observers should watch for Mumbai investigative steps, any Austrian court rulings and moves by either side to seek direct child‑access orders.
