Hansika Motwani, Mother Jyoti asked the Bombay High Court to take the sister in case of cruelty. Telugu movie news
Actress Hansika Motwani and her mother, Jyoti MotwaniPetition filed Bombay high court To reduce the case of cruelty registered against him under Section 498A of the Joint Code of India (BNS). The complaint was filed by Hansika’s sister -in -law, Mascan james,
According to the bar and bench, a bench including Justice Sarang Kotwal and Justice SM Modak issued a notice about its petition and set the next hearing for 3 July. A television actress, Mascan James, married Prashant Motwani, brother of Hansika in December 2020. However, their marriage ended in December 2022, two years later.
In December 2024, Mascan allegedly filed an FIR against Hansika, her mother Jyoti and Prashant, accusing them of crimes under Section 498A (cruelty for wife), 323 (due to injury), 504, and 506 (criminal threats) Bhairata Naya Sanhita (BNS).
Hansika and Jyoti were granted anticipatory bail by the Mumbai session court in February 2025. Subsequently, the actress and her mother approached the High Court, in which the FIR was rejected.
Hansika claimed that the case against her was inspired by Malis, allegedly stemped by her demand for repayment of Rs 27 lakhs, which she lended to Prashant and Mascan for her marriage. This amount was reportedly spent on the wedding system, but according to Hansika, neither Muskan nor Prashant paid the loan.
The petition argues that the case is an exaggeration for a matrimonial dispute between Maskan and Pacific and should not be taken as a criminal offense. “The allegations against the petitioner are baseless, motivated, and arise from domestic controversies that have become exaggerated to bring him to the purview of criminal prosecution,” the petition stated.
Hansika has said that she was not involved in the couple’s marital conflicts and was fully nominated in the fire as she is Prashant’s sister. “The FIR seems to be an anti -anticipatory solution, which has been pressurized the petitioner and his family in a financial disposal in the ongoing matrimonial dispute,” his petition claims.
According to the argument, Maskan filed an FIR after refusing to agree with a mutual divorce, indicating that the criminal case is being used as “leverage in ongoing matrimonial litigation”.
The petition on behalf of Hansika was filed by advocate Dhadati Khurana, while advocate Adnan Sheikh represented Jyoti Motwani.
