A 39-year-old woman today lodged a molestation case against singer Yash Wadali at Bangurnagar police station in suburban Goregaon, a senior official said.
The alleged incident took place at around 5 pm at the residence of the complainant's friend in Goregaon, where the singer and few other friends were also present.
"The complainant was at her friend's residence, where a quarrel broke out between Yash Wadali and her over the issue of singing a song. Later, Vadali held her collar with an intent to outrage her modesty and also abused the woman," senior police inspector Santosh Bhandare said.
Based on the complaint filed by the woman, police have registered a case against the singer under sections 354 (punishment for sexual harassment) and 504 (intentional insult with intent to provoke breach of the peace) of the IPC, he said.
No arrest has been made so far and further investigation is on, the officer said.
