Cuttack: Actor-turned BJD MP Anubhav Mohanty and his estranged wife and actress Varsha Priyadarshini, on Monday arrived at Sub Divisional Judicial Magistrate (SDJM) court here for counselling in the domestic violence case filed by the latter.
This came three days after the Family Court here rejected Anubhav’s divorce plea and Varsha’s petition for restitution of her conjugal rights as the couple could not prove their allegations and counter allegations.
On August 7, 2020, Varsha had approached the SDJM court in Cuttack in a criminal miscellaneous case against Anubhav under Section 12 of Protection of Women from Domestic Violence Act. She had accused him of alcohol-related abuse to physical torture and financial bungling. She also demanded a monthly amount of Rs 70,000 towards house rent and maintenance.
Prior to Varsha’s case, Anubhav had filed a divorce petition at the Patiala House Court in Delhi on July 6, 2020, citing non-consummation of marriage. It was transferred to the Family Court in Cuttack on the actress’ plea in the Supreme Court.
The estranged couple, who married in February 2014, have been fighting several court battles for almost four years.
