Backstory
Rawal had filed domestic violence complaint on June 1 originally
Tracing back, the Yeh Rishta Kya Kehlata Hai actor was arrested earlier this month after Rawal filed a complaint of domestic violence.
Rawal had alleged Mehra had pushed her against a wall while he denied the claims, alleging she had done that to herself.
A case was also registered against him but he was granted bail upon being produced in front of a magistrate.
Game of blame
Mehra maintained allegations were brought in to secure high alimony
The 38-year-old actor was booked under several sections of the Indian Penal Code.
Some of them were Sections 336 (endangering human life or personal safety of others), 337 (causing hurt by an act which endangers human life), and 332 (voluntarily causing hurt to deter public servant from his duty).
Mehra maintained these allegations were made to secure high alimony from him after their separation.
Information
The actress recently celebrated their son Kavish's birthday
Alleging "constant abuse over the years," the 36-year-old actress told media that Mehra had also cheated on her.
Mehra, in turn, claimed Rawal was suffering from bipolar disorder and said, "The truth will come out."
Notably, after tying the knot in 2012, the celebrity pair welcomed their son Kavish in 2017.
Recently, Rawal even organized Kavish's birthday party and shared pictures from the bash.
