Mumbai: A 32-year-old model today filed a complaint of molestation against Mika Singh even as the Bollywood singer lodged a counter-complaint alleging extortion.

An FIR under sections 354 (outraging woman's modesty), 323 (voluntary causing hurt) and 504 (intentional insult) of IPC was registered at the suburban Versova police station on the basis of the complaint, a senior police official said. 

The model used to visit Mika's house often, he said.

Following the complaint, Mika Singh released a statement which claimed that the girl had demanded money from him, and he had evidence of it. He also said he had informed police of this.

"Today (Tuesday) morning at around 5 a.m. one girl barged into my premises by entering through window and started abusing me and assaulting me and my staff and started threatening if I don't pay her Rs 5 crore, she will ruin my career and register a false case against me. I have already informed Versova police in writing regarding the threats and extortion," he said in the statement.

"I don't know who this girl is. I have all the evidence against this girl of she demanding money from me and I have informed the police about this incident. Police is investigating the matter and truth will be out soon," he added.
