The controversy stems from an event held at DAV (PG) College in Dehradun on April 10, where the singer allegedly used abusive and inappropriate language on stage during the closing ceremony of the Student Union Week.

Based on complaints and eyewitness accounts, the police registered a case against Sharma under several provisions of the Bharatiya Nyaya Sanhita (BNS), including sections related to obscene acts, intentional insult, insulting the modesty of a woman, and criminal intimidation.

Confirming the development, Dehradun City SP Pramod Kumar stated, “We have launched an investigation into the matter.”

The programme was attended by senior dignitaries, including Pushkar Singh Dhami and MLA Umesh Sharma Kau. According to reports, the situation escalated after the Chief Minister left the venue.

Videos circulating online appear to show Sharma losing his temper on stage, making objectionable remarks and issuing open challenges. Many attendees reportedly found the language inappropriate, particularly given the academic setting and the presence of students.

Complaints Filed, Legal Action Initiated 

Multiple complaints were lodged against the singer, including one by lawyer Pranchal Nauni, who claimed that the remarks hurt public sentiment, especially among students and women present.

Authorities have since issued a formal notice to Sharma, directing him to respond within a stipulated timeframe, failing which further legal steps may follow.

Women’s Commission Steps In, Protests Erupt

The controversy has drawn the attention of the Haryana State Commission for Women, which has taken suo motu cognisance of the matter. Sharma has been summoned to appear before the panel in Panchkula on April 18 over concerns regarding conduct and remarks directed at women.

Meanwhile, protests have broken out in parts of Dehradun, with demonstrators demanding strict action against the singer.
