Overview
- Singh moved the Chandigarh District and Sessions Court for protection from arrest, and the judge asked police to respond by May 20.
- Chandigarh Police registered the FIR at Sector 36 police station under Section 79 of the Bharatiya Nyaya Sanhita and Section 67A of the IT Act, and later added Section 61(2) of the BNS.
- Advocates Ujjwal Bhasin and Jatin Verma filed the complaint, alleging a viral dialogue demeaned working women and promoted misogyny.
- The disputed clip shows his character referring to a woman’s place as being at the stove by day and for intimacy at night, which critics say normalises regressive views.
- Singh’s counsel says he delivered scripted lines for a fictional role under a contract, as his son Victor declined public comment while consulting lawyers, and the series has also drawn separate online objections to a character name without formal legal action.
