Controversies
In 2015 Chitra filed a Domestic Violence case against her husband, which put Atul in trouble. The matter was then sorted between the couple later on. What could be the reason? We don’t know.
However, Atul found himself entering the chakravyuh without knowing to get out of it when he stated armed men at gunpoint robbed him. Atul stated that the men robbed him, taking away INR 5000 in cash. The incident happened in Noida around midnight as the men asked Atul to lower his window and then robbed him at gunpoint.
The same theory was discarded by the police as they dug deep into the matter, and a new angle happened to show Atul with another woman entering an OYO at the same time he mentioned being robbed. Atul then had to lock his Facebook profile, provided the embarrassing truth getting out in public.
Could this be the reason that the couple got into a heated situation?
