The investigation in the case of derogatory remarks against the scheduled caste community registered in Hansi, Hisar against former cricketer Yuvraj Singh, TV actress Munmun Dutta alias Babita ji and actress Yuvika Chaudhary has now been transferred to the State Crime Branch. Separate cases were registered against all the three celebrities under the SC ST Act in Hansi police station. The complainant, Rajat Kalsan, expressed his anger at the new orders of inquiry, alleging attempts to mislead the investigation.

Please tell that Rajat Kalsan, a Dalit rights activist and lawyer from Hansi, Hisar, has filed separate cases under the SC ST Act against former cricketer Yuvraj Singh, famous TV actress Munmun Dutta alias Babita ji and film actress Yuvika Chaudhary. Cases have been registered against him. All three were accused of saying objectionable words against the society on different occasions.

According to the orders regarding the case registered against the celebrity, the investigation has been transferred from the DSP to the State Crime Branch, Haryana. The investigation will be done by the officers of State Crime Branch Hisar branch. DSP and Investigating Officer Vinod Shankar said that they have received orders regarding this on Thursday. Now they will transfer the case file to the crime branch.

The investigation was completed, now the government’s new maneuver

Rajat Kalsan, a Dalit rights activist and advocate from Hansi, has expressed anger over the transfer of the investigation to the Crime Branch. Describing the move as illegal, he said that the Hansi police had completed the investigation of the cases registered against the celebrities. Now only the challan was left to be filed in the special court established under the SC ST Act of Hisar. All three celebrities had joined the police investigation. On the orders of the High Court, the three accused celebrities had got interim bail after their arrest. The interrogation was also almost over and their mobiles and laptops were also confiscated by the Hansi police.

Will go to High Court: Kalsan

Kalson said that the government has transferred this investigation by taking illegal steps on the request of the three accused celebrities to mislead the investigation of the cases. There is heavy political pressure on Haryana Government and Haryana Police. He feared that the cases could be dismissed by changing the direction of investigation to save these three celebrities as part of the conspiracy. They will file a petition in the Punjab Haryana High Court seeking directions to the police in this regard. In this case, the final report under Section 173 of CrPC should be presented in the special court at the earliest and the trial should be initiated against the three accused celebrities.
