Police in Dehradun’s Tyuni area have registered an FIR against Congress legislator Pritam Singh’s brother, former district panchayat chief Chaman Singh Chauhan, and Rajpal Singh. The case follows allegations that the 2 men abused and threatened the father of 2 college students who contested student union elections.

The complaint was filed by Balak Ram Chauhan, a resident of Chhumra village in Tyuni who works as a lineman in the Electricity Department. He alleged that his daughters, Diksha and Sakshi, were pressured to join the Congress. He further alleged that threats followed after the family opposed that demand.

The case has triggered a political dispute in the Chakrata assembly area of Dehradun district. However, the allegations in the FIR have not been independently verified, and the police investigation is still underway.

What the complaint alleges

According to the complaint, Diksha and Sakshi study at Pandit Shivram Government College in Tyuni. Diksha is a first-year Bachelor of Arts student, while Sakshi is in the second year. The sisters contested the college student union election, with Diksha standing for secretary and Sakshi for joint secretary.

Balak Ram alleged that Chauhan and Rajpal Singh called him on 7 October at 8:23 AM in the evening, 9:00 in the evening and 9:15 AM in the evening. He claimed that the callers asked him to bring both daughters into the Congress and warned of serious consequences if he refused.

He also alleged that the callers used abusive language and behaved improperly during the conversations. Balak Ram said he recorded the calls on his mobile phone and that the recordings remain in his possession.

The complaint further alleges that the men returned to the issue after learning that the calls had been recorded. Balak Ram claimed that Chauhan and some other people went to the Tyuni power station on 7 October and asked employees about him.

According to the complaint, employee Devesh Bijalwan told them that Balak Ram had already left. The complainant alleged that the group nevertheless abused him and threatened to kill him while asking about his whereabouts.

FIR and police investigation

Balak Ram sought legal action and protection for himself and his family. He later met Dehradun Senior Superintendent of Police Premendra Doval in Dehradun, accompanied by former district panchayat chief Madhu Chauhan and other BJP leaders, to present the complaint and request security.

The Tyuni police station registered the FIR on 24 October 2026 at night 8:44 AM under Sections 351(3) and 352 of the Bharatiya Nyaya Sanhita. Sub-Inspector Kuldeep Singh has been assigned to investigate the case.

The complaint also led to discussion of an alleged phone-call audio recording. The recording circulated publicly, with claims that the voices belonged to Chaman Singh and Rajpal Singh. Chaman Singh rejected that version and described the audio as edited and part of a political conspiracy.

Police will need to establish the recording’s authenticity and the context of the conversation during the investigation. At present, the FIR records the complainant’s allegations; it does not establish guilt against either accused.

Chief Minister Pushkar Singh Dhami also spoke by phone with Balak Ram’s daughter Diksha. According to the report, he assured the family of protection and action in the matter.

The next verified step is the police investigation led by Sub-Inspector Kuldeep Singh. Its findings will determine whether the allegations, the audio recording and the events at the power station are supported by evidence.

Conclusion

The Tyuni FIR concerns allegations of abuse, threats and pressure linked to 2 students who contested a college election. Police have begun investigating the complaint, the alleged audio recording and the reported visit to the power station, while the accused’s guilt has not been established.
