In his complaint, Vikram Singh allegedly mentioned that, whilst standing at the gate of ‘August Kranti Rajdhani Express’, Shah Rukh Khan threw something at the public, who rushed to grab it. This led to a chaos like situation, which further got developed into a scuffle. All of this (allegedly) resulted in Vikram Singh’s trolley being overturned and damaging the items and injuring him in the bargain. Based on Vikram Singh’s complaint, a case has been registered against Shah Rukh Khan under the IPC sections 427 (mischief causing damage to the amount of Rs 50), 120(b) (criminal conspiracy), 147 (rioting), 149 (every member of unlawful assembly guilty of offence committed) and 160 (committing affray) of IPC. Under sections 145 (nuisance) and 146 (obstructing railway servant in his duties) of Railway Act, and section 3 (mischief causing damage to public property) of the Prevention of Damage to Public Property Act, he said.
