An FIR was registered on July 31 against:

The complaint alleges offences relating to domestic violence, physical and mental harassment, assault, verbal abuse, questioning of the actress’s character, and wrongful retention of her stridhan (bridal jewellery).
Police officials have initiated the legal process and are examining the allegations as part of the ongoing investigation.
Aditi Sharma’s Allegations
In her complaint, Aditi stated that she first met Abhineet Vidyanand Kaushik during an online acting class in June 2021.
According to her statement, the two later entered into a relationship and began living together in an apartment in Goregaon West in September 2024. She further stated that they married on November 12, 2024, with the consent of both families.
The actress alleged that her husband’s behaviour changed after their marriage.
She claimed that disagreements began over everyday matters, including her clothing choices, and alleged that he frequently asked her to contribute money toward household expenses.
Alleged Incident in January 2025
The complaint also refers to an incident on January 1, 2025, during which an argument allegedly escalated.
According to Aditi, following that incident:
- Her husband allegedly questioned her character.
- She was accused of having an affair.

She further alleged that both her mother-in-law and sister-in-law supported her husband during attempts to resolve family disputes and continued to harass her.
Police Investigation Underway
Following the registration of the FIR, Goregaon Police have begun investigating the allegations.
As with all criminal investigations, the registration of an FIR marks the beginning of the legal process and does not determine guilt. Authorities are expected to record statements, gather evidence and proceed in accordance with applicable law.
