This inquiry began after a woman named Radhika Singh made allegations against him in a social media post. She claimed that Ranjeet had invited her to Indore and promised to book flight tickets for her.
However, Ranjeet later clarified that he never seriously made such a promise. He said the comment was made jokingly after Radhika expressed her wish to watch his dance performance live.
