On Monday, Shweta Tiwari filed a police complaint against husband Abhinav Kohli as he reportedly hit her daughter, Palak Tiwari. Shweta along with her daughter filed a complaint at Samta Nagar police station in Kandivali East. A police official spoke to timesofindia.com and said, "Abhinav Shukla was arrested under Sections 509, 354 (a), 323, 504, 506 of the IPC and 67-A of the IT Act on Sunday, and produced before the court yesterday."
Shweta Tiwari’s ex-husband and Palak’ father Raja Chaudhary spoke to Bombay Times and said that the news is disturbing. "I learnt about it through the media. I have been in touch with my daughter and checked on her this morning. She told me not to worry and that she is fine. It's very disturbing for me as a father," he said.
Hours after Shweta filed a police case against Abhinav, Palak also shared a detailed note on Instagram adding more light to the happening. "Firstly, i would like to thank everyone who's reached out to express their concern and support. Secondly, i would like to address and clarify a few things out of my own rectitude The media does not have the facts and they never will. I, Palak Tiwari, was on multiple occasions a victim of domestic abuse NOT my mother, except for the day that the complaint was filed he hadn't hit my mother. As a reader of the news its often easy to forget that you do not know the truth of what goes on behind closed doors or how much fortitude my mother has shown in both her marriages.''

She further clarified that her stepfather had never 'physically molested' or 'touched her inappropriately'. However, she added, "he did persistently make inappropriate and disturbing remarks the impact of which is only known to my mother and I, and if any woman from any walk of life were to hear them she would be greatly embarrassed and provoked too. Words which would question the standing dignity of any woman, which you wouldn’t expect to hear from any man, especially not your “father”."
