The Mumbai Police have officially registered a First Information Report (FIR) against Peter Haag, the husband of Bollywood actress and former Miss India, Celina Jaitly, following serious allegations of domestic violence and harassment. The legal action was taken at the Versova Police Station under multiple sections of the Bharatiya Nyaya Sanhita, 2023, including charges related to cruelty, physical harm, criminal intimidation, and sustained harassment. This development marks a significant escalation in the ongoing legal battle between the couple, which began late last year when Jaitly first moved the court seeking protection and damages. Reports indicate that the police decided to formalize the criminal proceedings after Haag repeatedly failed to cooperate with the investigative process, leading authorities to view his absence as a deliberate attempt to evade the law.
In a move to ensure his presence for questioning, a Look Out Circular (LOC) has been issued against Peter Haag, who is an Austrian national. This circular alerts all ports of entry and exit, effectively preventing him from leaving the country or alerting authorities of his movement if he attempts to travel. Celina Jaitly’s legal team has alleged that the actress was subjected to years of emotional and physical abuse, which eventually forced her to flee her home in Austria and return to India. The petition filed by the actress further claims that her husband restricted her professional growth, robbed her of her financial independence, and has since blocked her access to their children, who currently remain in his custody abroad.
The legal representative for the actress stated that the issuance of the LOC underscores the gravity of the accusations and the necessity of a thorough investigation. Apart from the criminal charges, Jaitly has also sought significant financial compensation amounting to ₹50 crore for the loss of earnings and emotional distress caused during their marriage, along with monthly maintenance. While the Mumbai Police continue to collect evidence and record statements, there has been no official statement yet from Peter Haag or his legal representatives regarding these latest developments. The case has drawn widespread attention as it highlights the complexities of cross-border domestic disputes and the stringent measures being taken by local authorities to address such grievances.
