Allegations
'I took 25 sleeping pills...': Jyoti
At the press conference, Jyoti said, "He's saying he yearned for a child, but a person who yearns for a child doesn't give his wife medication." "I was given medication every time..." "When Pawan Ji was administering the medication to me and when I spoke out against him, he tortured me so much that I took sleeping pills." "I took 25 sleeping pills at 2:00am...He used to give me abortion pills."

He also mentioned that they had met at their flat with his younger brothers and Jyoti's family members.
Statement
'I asked staff to prepare food she wanted'
Singh further said, "How I behaved with her, only I, she and God know that." "Jyoti said she wouldn't leave until the divorce matter is resolved." "I asked can a case be fought while living under the same roof?" "I asked the staff to prepare food she wanted and went to a meeting leaving my brother to talk to her." He added, "I would never hurt the sentiments of those who have helped me reach this position."
