The Haryana State Commission for Women has summoned Haryanvi folk singer Masoom Sharma over alleged verbal abuse during a college event held in Dehradun earlier this month.
According to official documents, the event took place on April 10 at the college.
Earlier, a police case was also registered in connection with the incident under FIR No. 63/2026, invoking multiple sections of the Bharatiya Nyaya Sanhita (BNS).
Masoom Sharma has responded to the controversy, stating that his family had been facing harassment from some people who claim to be criminals, which affected his mental state and led to the outburst on stage.
He has apologized for what he felt was wrong and responded to the notice sent by the Women's Commission.
The complainant, Pranchal Nauni, alleged that Sharma's remarks from the stage deeply hurt the sentiments of both students and members of the public attending the event.
