Court allows Opthalmoligist to settle assault case against Mika
New Delhi: In a relief to Bollywood singer Mika Singh, a Delhi court allowed a doctor, allegedly slapped by the singer at a concert here in 2015, to amicably settle his criminal case against the artiste.
Metropolitan Magistrate Sujit Saurabh allowed the plea moved by the doctor in this regard after he claimed that both the complainant and the accused did not want to pursue the matter and were ready to compound the case.
According to court sources, both the singer and the doctor were present before the court during the hearing.
The court had granted bail to Singh in May last year on a personal bond of Rs 20,000 and one surety of like amount.
The 38-year-old singer was arrested and granted bail by the police on the same day in June 2015 for assaulting Dr Shrikant, an ophthalmologist, in April 2015.
The court had summoned Singh to appear before it after taking cognisance of the charge sheet filed by the police under sections 323 (voluntarily causing hurt), 341 (wrongful restraint) and 34 (common intention) of IPC.
