Shock Waves in Bollywood: Arijit Singh Booked for Assault in West Bengal—What Really Happened?

FIR Against Arijit Singh In West Bengal Shantiniketan Police Station, Here’s What Happened?

In a development that has taken fans and the entire music industry by surprise, a serious complaint of assault has been filed against one of Bollywood’s most beloved and humble playback singers—Arijit Singh. Known for his soulful voice and down-to-earth personality, Arijit now finds himself at the center of a controversy, with an FIR registered against him and his bodyguard at the Shantiniketan Police Station in West Bengal.

What Triggered the Incident?

According to the official report, the complainant, Kamalkant Laha, stated that on August 13, Arijit Singh was shooting a video in Shantiniketan. As a result, some local roads were barricaded, causing inconvenience to passersby. Kamalkant claims that while he was on his way to the office, Arijit’s bodyguard asked him to wait for five minutes. Since Kamal was running late, he got into a heated exchange with the guard after being told to wait an additional 30 minutes.

Kamalkant alleges that when he insisted on passing, the situation escalated. He claims that Arijit’s security personnel forcefully dragged him to a police vehicle, during which he lost his gold ring, and felt harassed. “I am an artist myself. How could another artist treat me this way?” Kamal questioned. He has since filed an official complaint at the local police station.
