Mohali, October 25
In a new twist to the rape case against Punjabi singers — Jarnail Singh Jally and Maninder Manga — and two others, the victim’s first husband, Harjinder Singh, today alleged that she had solemnised the second marriage without taking a divorce from him.

Singh, based in Ludhiana, alleged that the trial in this regard was on in the District Court at Chandigarh. “We (victim and him) got married on August 27, 2006. In 2007, we filed for a divorce in a court at Chandigarh whose last hearing was on October 14. I just got to know that she had solemnised her marriage with Jarnail Singh Jally without taking a divorce from me.”

“I had given a complaint to the Ludhiana police on October 10 and also apprised the court of the development”, alleged Singh.

Notably, the victim had slapped charges of rape, kidnapping, miscarriage, criminal conspiracy against Jally, Manga and two others following which a case had been registered at the Phase I police station recently.

The Punjabi singer also alleged that the victim had cheated him by concealing the status of her divorce case before solemnising a marriage with him.

Singh claimed that the victim had also made her passport on fake documents. “The Chandigarh Police also investigated the matter and subsequently confiscated her passport”, alleged Singh.

Meanwhile, the Mohali Police are yet to make any arrests in the case.

Mohali Superintendent of Police (Headquarters) said investigations were on in the case and only after that, the next course of action would be decided.
