Yo Yo Honey Singh has responded to allegations made against him and others by the owner of an event company, who filed a complaint with Mumbai Police claiming that he was held captive and assaulted. In a post on Instagram on Thursday, the rapper referred to the accusations as “false and baseless” and issued a warning that his legal team will be taking action by filing a defamation case against the person making the allegations.
Officials announced on Thursday that a police complaint has been filed against Honey Singh, accusing him of kidnapping and assaulting an event organizer in Mumbai. According to the Mumbai Police, Vivek Raman filed a written complaint against Honey Singh and several others at the BKC police station. The police are currently investigating the matter.
“The complaint and the allegations are false and baseless. There is no connection or agreement between my company or the complainant which the media is showing since morning. I was engaged for the Mumbai Show through a company named Tribevibe which is a reputed company and a sister concern of Bookmyshow. I did my performance for whatever time the permission was there for. Rest all such allegations are false and an attempt to tarnish my image. My Legal Team is already working to file a defamation case against such miscreants,”Honey Singh wrote in his statement shared via an Instagram post. In his caption, he wrote, “You just keep rocking bro (lion emoji), don’t worry about allegations.”
According to the police complaint lodged on April 19, the complainant, Vivek Raman, had organised a programme for the singer at Bandra Kurla Complex (BKC) in Mumbai on April 15. Due to errors in the money transaction, the event had to be cancelled.
The complainant in his complaint to BKC police alleged that the cancellation of the event miffed Honey Singh and his associates, who later abducted him, held him hostage at a hotel in Mumbai and assaulted him. He had demanded that a case be registered against Honey Singh, and the singer and his associates be arrested, police had said.
