The Uttarakhand Police have issued a notice to Haryanvi singer Masoom Sharma to record his statement in connection with an FIR registered against him for allegedly using abusive language during a cultural programme at DAV (PG) College in Dehradun.
The FIR was registered on the basis of a complaint submitted by Pranchal Nauni, a representative of the Satyam Shivam Student Organisation of DAV (PG) College, alleging that the singer used objectionable words from the stage, hurting the sentiments of students and the general public.
The FIR was registered under various sections, including 296 (obscene acts and songs), 352 (intentional insult with intent to provoke breach of peace), 79 (word, gesture or act intended to insult modesty of a woman), and 351(3) (criminal intimidation).
Singer Masoom Sharma has apologised for his remarks, stating that he was under stress due to a goon loitering around his hotel and inadvertently expressed his anger on stage.
