NEW DELHI: Indian cricketer Yuvraj Singh , his mother and his brother Zorawar Singh have been named in a domestic violence petition filed by Zorawar's estranged wife and Bigg Boss 10 contestant Akanksha Sharma In the petition filed in August, Akanksha has accused her husband Zorawar and his mother of "mental and financial torture" and alleged that Yuvraj Singh remained a "mute spectator", according to her lawyer Swati Singh Malik.However, counsel for Yuvraj Singh, his mother and brother, Damanbir Singh Sobti, has refuted all domestic violence related allegations.In a press statement Sobti said: "There are certain misrepresentations being made in social media that a criminal complaint or an FIR has been registered against my clients on the basis of false and baseless allegations. No such FIR or Complaint has been filed."Clarifying further, the lawyer said "Akanksha (the estranged wife of Yuvraj's brother Zoravar) has filed a petition under Section 25 of the Protection of Women from Domestic Violence Act, 2005 and my clients (the Singhs) have been arrayed as respondents and their counsel shall appear on their behalf on the date fixed before the Hon'ble Court at Gurgaon."Sobti also said that Akanksha's complaint was "malafide, baseless and time barred"."She (Akanksha) had left her matrimonial house admittedly in September, 2015 and has now chosen to file this petition in the end of 2017," the lawyer said in the statement.Akanksha's lawyer Swati confirmed the domestic violence case to news and entertainment portal SpotboyE. The first court hearing in the case is scheduled for October 21, she said.Swati claimed Akanksha's mother-in-law and husband had been pressuring her to conceive, while also subjecting her to "mental and financial torture".Meanwhile, Gurgaon Police Chief PRO and ACP Manish Sehgal told PTI that they had not yet got any directions from the court to register an FIR. "The woman has not approached us directly with a complaint against Yuvraj Singh and his family members," he said.Yuvraj's younger brother Zorawar had married Gurgaon girl Akanksha Sharma in 2014. During her stint on reality TV show Bigg Boss, she'd revealed that she'd walked out of the marriage after just four months, hinting at harassment by her in-laws. The estranged couple had filed for divorce last year.
