Shivinder Mohan Singh breaks silence on fight with brother

Shivinder Mohan Singh has accused his brother Malvinder of making a false attempt to cast a doubt on his integrity. In a statement responding to a video by the elder brother that surfaced on Thursday, he said Malvinder was the aggressor who had pinned him to a wall and choked him but was indulging in public gimmickry, displaying a false cast.

The incident, which happened on Wednesday, during a EGM of Prius Real Estate that had transactions with RHC holding, controlled by brothers and the business entities owned by the Dhillon family, has closed all options of the brothers working togethe, he said.

"On 5th December 2018, I visited our office for a scheduled EGM. On arriving, I was concerned to find out that one of the directors had left the ongoing board meeting due to unnecessary intimidating tactics being adopted by the (only) other board member, Malvinder’s relative.

"Following the incident, it appeared that Malvinder was trying to coerce some employees to video record statements under duress. Concerned for the well-being of the employees I entered the room to understand what was going on.

"Angered seeing me there, Malvinder attempted to forcibly restrain me and pinned me to the wall choking me. I tried to push him away in self-defense," the statement said.

I have received several queries on a video in which Malvinder has accused me of hitting him. This is false and a shameless attempt to cast doubt on my integrity. I would like to address this clearly.

Angered seeing me there, Malvinder attempted to forcibly restrain me and pinned me to the wall choking me. I tried to push him away in self-defense.

Shocked, I went and made a police complaint as I prefer to resort to legal remedies to issues. If I was the aggressor, I wonder why he did not make a police complaint instead of public gimmickry and that too one day later, displaying a fake cast for an injury he never had.

On intervention of the family and believing that we could keep issues private, I once again agreed to withdraw my complaint.

It has been clear to me for some time that Malvinder and I cannot work together. The gulf between our value systems is clearly too wide. This latest incident closes all options for any possible solution to work together.

I apologize for these distractions to our employees and creditors and remain focused on trying to find pragmatic solutions to address the Group’s issues, which are far larger than the two of us as individuals and need urgent resolution.
