The Mumbai Police has filed a case against Yeh Rishta Kya Kehlata Hai actor Karan Mehra based on a complaint by wife and actor Nisha Rawal, as per a report by India Today. Nisha had filed a complaint of domestic violence against Karan at Mumbai's Goregaon Police Station. Police are investigating the case and no one has been arrested as of now.
Case Against Karan Mehra
The case against Karan Mehra was filed on 25 June. In her complaint, Nisha has reportedly accused Karan's family members - Ajay Mehra, Bela Mehra and Kunal Mehra - of violence and exploitation. Nisha has also alleged that Karan withdrew more than Rs 1 crore from her bank account.
Karan's Arrest
On 31 May, Karan Mehra was arrested by the police after Nisha registered a complaint against him. Nisha had claimed that following a dispute Karan allegedly pushed her against the wall. Karan was released on bail later.
The Allegations
Following Karan's arrest, Nisha spoke about her accusations and problems in her marital life. She accused Karan of having an affair and said that she didn't speak up about the abuse earlier to protect his 'image'.
Karan, in an interview, alleged that Nisha hurt herself to implicate him after he refused to meet her demands. Speaking to a publication, Nisha had said that she asked for money because Karan was the family's financial head and controlled everything, including her earnings.
"This is definitely about Karan having an extra marital affair, me trying to work on the marriage, him not even taking responsibility of the child and constant abuse over the years, which I have never spoken about. I have evidence to authenticate my claim", Nisha Rawal had told reporters.
On the other hand, Karan told Hindustan Times that on 31 May he and Nisha had a disagreement over distribution of finances. He further alleged that Nisha wanted more than what was agreed upon but he refused. Karan claimed that in order to frame him Nisha banged her own head against the wall. "I have been disrespected and now to use the bechari girl card is unbelievable", Karan had told the publication.
