The Haryana State Commission for Women has initiated an inquiry into Haryanvi singer Masoom Sharma for reportedly using inappropriate language at a college event in Dehradun. Commission Chairperson Renu Bhatia has summoned Sharma to appear before the panel on April 18 in Panchkula. The singer has been directed to provide an explanation in person regarding the incident.
The Commission expressed concerns over Sharma’s alleged behavior at DAV College Dehradun, emphasizing the importance of upholding dignity and respect towards women in public spaces. Citing the Haryana State Commission for Women Act, 2012, the panel aims to thoroughly investigate the matter. Failure to comply with the notice may result in legal action under the Act.
The incident has sparked discussions on the conduct of artists at college functions, prompting calls for stricter regulations to ensure decorum. Despite Sharma’s public apology on Instagram, acknowledging external factors that led to the incident, criticism persists. This is not the first time the singer has faced such allegations, intensifying scrutiny in this instance.
The Commission plans to analyze available evidence, including videos and witness testimonies, before making a decision. Subsequent actions will be based on the inquiry’s findings and Sharma’s responses during the hearing before the panel.
