Punjab Kings batter Shashank Singh and his father, retired Special Director General of Police (DGP) Shailesh Singh, have been named in an FIR following allegations made by their former cook, Vipendra Singh Tomar. The complaint, registered at Ratibad Police Station in Bhopal, accuses the duo, along with their driver, of assault, verbal abuse and wrongful restraint. Police have confirmed that an investigation is currently underway.

According to the complaint, 31-year-old Vipendra Singh Tomar, a resident of Rewa, was brought to Bhopal by an acquaintance, Mohit Singh Sengar, and was offered a job as a cook at Shailesh Singh’s residence. Tomar alleged that he was promised a monthly salary of ₹15,000, along with food and accommodation at the family’s Nilbad residence. He further claimed he was assured assistance in securing a government job in the future.

Tomar alleged that from the very first day of his employment, he was made to work continuously and witnessed the existing cook being subjected to verbal abuse. He claimed that after the family expressed dissatisfaction with the food he had prepared, he too was verbally abused. When he informed them that he wanted to resign, the situation allegedly escalated.
