Cuttack: Sourin Bhatt, a popular playback singer, is embroiled in a legal battle with an Odisha woman who accuses him of physically and mentally abusing her and breaking his promise to marry her.
The complainant, who reportedly works in a private bank, filed a complaint with the Jagatpur police, who referred it to the Mahila Police station here. Sections 376 (sexual assault), 493 (cohabitation caused by a man deceitfully inducing a belief of lawful marriage), 341 (wrongful restraints), 294 (obscene acts and songs), 417 (cheating), and 506 (threat to cause death or grievous harm) have been filed. According to sources, police have also recorded the woman's statement.
According to the sources, the woman met the playback singer about three years ago and their families were aware of the relationship. Bhatt is also accused of stealing Rs 10 lakh from her. He also promised to help her break into the music industry.
However, the complainant refused to provide any details to the media.
Bhatt currently resides in Mumbai. He was recently in the news for his new single, "Prema Dhun."
This comes just a few days after casting couch allegations shook the Odia film industry, and actress Prakruti Mishra filed a complaint against film producer Sanjay Nayak aka Tutu Nayak at the Dada Bhai Naroji Nagar Police Station in Mumbai's Andheri West neighborhood.
