It further alleged that Mika slapped the doctor which led to bleeding in his eardrum.<\/p>\n<p>It claimed that due to the &#8220;illegal and unlawful act&#8221; of Mika, the doctor had felt hurt, humiliated and embarrassed as most of the people gathered at the venue were his colleagues and friends.<\/p>\n<p>Mika, in his statement, had said the contents of the suit were based on media reports and denied that he had levelled false allegations against the doctor.<\/p>\n<p>A criminal case was lodged against Mika at Inder Puri Police Station here for alleged offences of causing hurt and wrongful restraint under the IPC.<\/p>\n<p>( Source &#8211; PTI )<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>A doctor, who had filed a Rs 50 lakh defamation suit against singer Mika Singh for allegedly slapping him and tarnishing his image at a function here, has withdrawn the case in a Delhi court after reaching at a settlement.
