Dimpy was Punched, Kicked and Dragged

Explaining the torture she has to go through, Dimpy told Mumbai mirror how she was physically abused. A report by Mumbai Mirror read, 'Rahul beat her up early on Thursday morning after waking her up to know the contents of a message that had just beeped on her phone. Since the phone had the key-pad lock on, Rahul was unable to operate it.'

When she asked him to let her sleep, he fumed with rage and began hitting her. She told that he punched, kicked and dragged her by her hair. As the situation was getting out of control, Dimpy ran away with her phone and hid under the staircase. She called her friends and her father at 3 AM in the morning as soon as her father reached, she packed and left.

Dimpy also quoted that during another fight, she was taken to gunpoint. "He is a nice guy, but when he loses it, there is no telling what he might do." Ex Mrs Mahajan quoted.
