Last year, Shehnaaz's father Santokh grabbed headlines when he was accused of raping a woman at gunpoint. However, he rubbished the woman's claims, and an FIR was lodged against him in Beas Police Station in Amritsar in May. Santokh Singh had called the charges against him a big conspiracy to tarnish his image. According to media reports, Santokh revealed that the woman was in love with Santokh's friend, Lucky Sandhu. Santokh also said that the woman used to call him brother and had met him just a few times.
 

He also claimed revealed that his friend (Lucky Sandhu) wanted to get rid of this woman and therefore came to his place to hide. The woman then came to Santokh's house asking about Lucky's location, and when he denied sharing the details with her, she intimidated him. He met with that woman in front of his bodyguard and wife; thus, there was no question of rape.
