Celina Jaitly and Peter Haag are now involved in the legal system due to a very serious case of domestic violence. The Mumbai police filed the FIR after Celina complained, and a Look Out Circular has been issued (meaning he isn’t allowed to leave the country, supposedly). The accusations are severe, the amount of money involved is significant, and the battle over who gets the children has very real and immediate consequences for Celina.
How the matter escalated
She told the police that he has been cruel to her, physically attacked her, scared her, and bothered her for a long time. Because of what she said, the police filed an FIR using several parts of the Bharatiya Nyaya Sanhita, 2023.
The Look Out Circular for Peter Haag was issued because he is supposedly not cooperating with the investigation. This isn’t something that suddenly happened; the problems between them have been growing for months and now there’s paperwork to prove it.
What triggered the legal push
Back in November 2025, Celina went to court under the Protection of Women from Domestic Violence Act of 2005. At that time, she said she had been continually abused during the marriage. This new criminal case is happening at the same time as that earlier court action about domestic violence.
Celina Jaitly, who used to be Miss India and was a runner-up in Miss Universe, has said that what Peter Haag has done is more than just a private problem. She wants the courts to formally investigate and give her some kind of legal protection.
The legal backbone and the sections in play
The FIR was filed under sections 85, 115(2), 351(2), and 352 of the Bharatiya Nyaya Sanhita, 2023. And because Peter Haag is accused of not working with the investigation, the authorities have stepped up their efforts.
Alongside the continuing case under the Protection of Women from Domestic Violence Act of 2005, a criminal case has now been started. So, there are two parts to this: Peter Haag being held responsible for a crime, and Celina getting relief from the domestic violence.
Money, custody, and what she wants from court
The amount of money Celina is asking for is a big part of the case. She’s asked for 10 lakh rupees each month for support, and 50 crore rupees as compensation, as stated in the reports about her complaint. This shows how determined she is to get some kind of justice.
But it’s not only about the money. She also says Peter Haag has stopped her from talking to their children, who are with him in Austria. She’s asking the court to allow her to have regular phone and video calls with them.
Here is what both sides of the process look like right now:
– Police action includes an FIR and a reported LOC
– Jaitly seeks maintenance, compensation, and custody relief
Why this fight resonates
Cases involving famous people always get attention, but this one is getting attention for other reasons too. It involves children being in another country, the very new criminal code being used, and the ongoing problem of domestic violence, which affects many women and families.
Celina Jaitly hasn’t been in many films lately, and she’s in the news now for something that isn’t fun or something she’s chosen. The court system, according to the papers filed, is now a huge part of her family life.
Where the investigation stands
The police are looking at the complaint and all the related information, and the Look Out Circular is putting pressure on Peter Haag to cooperate. That instruction is generally a pretty clear message: come forward, answer the questions, and let the process move on.
Officials have taken action based on Celina’s complaint and his alleged lack of cooperation. Right now, they are focusing on finding out the facts and making sure the legal proceedings continue.
What comes next
What happens next will be a series of legal steps, but they are incredibly important. With the FIR and the Look Out Circular (reportedly), the police will continue investigating the case based on sections 85, 115(2), 351(2), and 352. The domestic violence case from November 2025 is still important.
In court, Celina wants 10 lakh rupees a month, 50 crore rupees as compensation, and to be able to talk to her children whenever she wants by phone or video call. These requests, and the criminal case, will determine what happens next.
As with all ongoing investigations, the accusations are still being investigated. What is certain is the size of this: a famous marriage under legal scrutiny, a dispute over the children that crosses international borders, and a criminal investigation that now has the full power of the law behind it.
