'Mika Singh Kiss scandal': Singer seeks FIR dismissal at High Court

Bollywood singer Mika Singh reportedly approached the Bombay High Court, seeking to quash the FIR filed by Rakhi Sawant for him forcibly kissing her in 2006. Rakhi, who is busy with her professional commitments as no objection to the quashing of the FIR filed by her. The two have amicably resolved their differences.

This was back in 2006 during the singer's birthday bash, when there wasn’t a social media boom like we see today. Nor had the MeToo movement happened, but people did understand consent and videos got circulated everywhere. It was quite clear that Rakhi was not prepared for what was to happen, and she was in utter shock when Singh grabbed her again and kissed her a second time.

It has been 17 years since that happened. Mika Singh and Rakhi Sawant seem to have reconciled and back in 2021, they were also spotted together. More shockingly, she called him a ‘friend’ and even said ‘Singh is King’ before touching his feet! 

Now Mika Singh has filed a petition with the Bombay High Court to dismiss the lawsuit. A division bench of Justices A S Gadkari and P D Naik, on Monday, heard the appeal. It argued that the case may be invalidated as the accused and complainant have already settled their dispute.
