FIR Against Haryana BJP Chief Mohan Lal Badoli, Singer Rocky Mittal For 'Gangrape' Of Woman In Himachal
Himachal Pradesh Police have filed an FIR against Haryana BJP chief Mohan Lal Badoli and singer Rocky Mittal for allegedly gang-raping a New Delhi resident in Kasauli in July 2023.
The Himachal Pradesh Police have filed an FIR against Haryana BJP chief Mohan Lal Badoli and singer Rocky Mittal, also known as Jai Bhagwan, on charges of gang rape following a complaint lodged by a New Delhi resident. The case was registered in Kasauli, Solan district, on December 13, 2024, after the victim, a married woman, accused the two men of raping her in a hotel.
The complainant further alleged that the accused filmed the assault and threatened to kill her if she disclosed the incident to anyone, news agency PTI reported. The FIR, which came to light on Tuesday, also revealed that the accused made threatening remarks to the victim when she was summoned to Rocky's residence in Panchkula two months ago.
According to the FIR, the woman was staying at the hotel in Kasauli with her boss and a friend when they met Badoli and Rocky on July 3, 2023. Badoli introduced himself as a political leader, while Rocky claimed to be a singer. The two men later invited the woman and her friend to a room, where they promised to help the complainant secure a government job and an opportunity to feature in a music video.
The FIR alleges that the accused then forced the woman to consume alcohol despite her refusal, following which they raped her. During the assault, they allegedly took pictures and recorded videos, using these as leverage to intimidate the victim into silence, the complainant alleged, as per PTI.
“Despite our refusal, they forcibly made us consume alcohol. After that, they started harassing me. I objected, after which they threatened (friend) with dire consequences and made her sit on a side and threatened me that he would get me killed if I did not adhere to his demands. After that, both of them took turns to rape me. They also clicked my nude pictures and a video,” she stated in the complaint, as quoted by The Indian Express.
The accused allegedly threatened the victim when she was called to Rocky's residence in Panchkula two months ago, “They threatened to make me disappear if I disclosed the matter to the police or anybody. We felt ashamed… About two months ago, they called us to Panchkula and threatened to implicate us in a false criminal case. After that, we managed to find Rocky Mittal’s address in Panchkula and Badoli’s address in Sonipat and their mobile phone numbers. I am requesting that justice should be given to me, and stern action should be taken against them. Also, my nude pictures and videos should be deleted from their mobile phone numbers…”

In a statement to The Indian Express, Badoli denied the allegations, calling them "baseless" and asserting, “There is nothing like that. I have no clue what it is all about. Such FIRs can also be fudged. It could be due to the upcoming elections in Delhi that such fake FIRs are being circulated.”
