Bollywood singer and actor Yo Yo Honey Singh’s wife, Shalini Talwar, had filed a case of domestic violence, sexual violence, mental harassment and financial fraud against him. Now, a Delhi court on Saturday came down heavily on Punjabi singer and actor Yo Yo Honey Singh for not appearing before it for the hearing.
“No one is above the law. Surprised to see how this case is being taken so lightly,” metropolitan magistrate Tania Singh said.
Honey Singh moved an application seeking exemption from appearance in the case, citing medical reasons. Meanwhile, his wife, Shalini Talwar, appeared physically before the court.
Expressing displeasure, the court told Singh’s lawyer, “Honey Singh has not appeared. You have not filed his income affidavit and are not prepared with the arguments.”
The court has also sought Yo Yo Honey Singh’s medical report and details of his income tax returns. Singh’s counsel said that they will file his medical records and income tax returns at the earliest even as he sought an exemption from personal appearance saying that the singer is unwell.
The metropolitan magistrate gave Singh one last opportunity to appear before the court, and asked him not to repeat this conduct again.
Yo Yo Honey Singh, whose actual name is Hirdesh Singh, tied the knot with Shalini Talwar on January 23, 2011.
In her plea, Talwar charted out how she was physically assaulted by Singh over the last 10 years. She has also alleged that Honey Singh cheated on her with other women. The 38-year-old woman also claimed that she was subjected to numerous incidents of physical, verbal, mental, and emotional abuse at the hands of her husband and his family.
According to previous reports, Talwar alleged that Singh and his family broke her mentally and emotionally to the extent that she almost started identifying herself as a “farm animal”.
