Mumbai: Goregaon police lodged an FIR last week against TV actress Aditi Sharma’s husband, mother-in-law and sister-in-law for her alleged assault, verbal abuse and mental harassment as well as taking away her jewellery.Police said they were probing the case and were yet to make any arrest.Sharma (29) is known for her roles in TV shows such as ‘Apollena—Sapno Ki Unchi Udaan’, ‘Rabb Se Hai Dua’ and ‘Kaleerein’.The FIR invokes Sections 3(5) (common intention), 316(2) (breach of trust), 352 (intentional insults), and 85 (cruelty committed by a husband or his relatives against a married woman) of Bharatiya Nyaya Sanhita against the husband, Abhineet Kaushik (36), mother-in-law Urmila (65), and sister-in-law Keerti (29).In her complaint, Sharma said she befriended Kaushik in 2021 and they married in Nov 2024. After the marriage, she said, Kaushik began picking on her over her outfits and fighting over minor domestic issues. “He would not give me money for household expenses. On the contrary, he used to take money from me,” she said.Sharma alleged that the strife escalated to verbal abuses in Jan 2025 after he accused her of having an extramarital relationship. She said she was subjected to frequent taunts, which caused her immense mental distress.The actress said after their fights got more intense, Urmila and Keerti were asked to intervene. “She said instead of resolving their disputes, they kept taunting her, causing her mental distress. She complained that her in-laws took her wedding jewellery—two gold chains, four gold rings, a diamond ring, a gold mangalsutra and two gold bangles. After that, her husband started checking her phone and suspecting her fidelity,” said a police officer.Assistant inspector Amita Marathe is probing the case.
