Excerpts from MiD DAY's report on November 20, 2006
Rahul Mahajan's wife Shweta Singh is on the verge of ending their two-and-a-half month marriage because of relentless physical and verbal abuse by her husband, a source close to the family told MiD DAY.
The latest in a series of assaults on Shweta occurred last Wednesday, leaving her with a cut lip, a bruised arm, a sore back and the realisation that she had to get out of the marriage.
The incident took place in a car during Rahul's visit to Delhi last week. To add to Shweta's humiliation, the beating took place in the presence of two of Rahul's friends. The source said, 'Rahul hit Shweta repeatedly... he caught her by the hair, slapped her on the face, banging her head against the seat. Once, she was hunched over, he kept hitting her on the back with his fists.'
Early blows
Shweta got to see the violent side of Rahul very early in the marriage. Her ordeal had begun almost as soon as the couple came back after their honeymoon in Seychelles in mid-September.
Upon their return, the couple visited Tirupati and stayed in a hotel, where a trivial matter caused Rahul to lose his temper. The source said Rahul began hurling abuses at Shweta, calling her a wh**e and accusing her of having destroyed his life. He called her a Vish Kanya, all the while throwing things. A friend of theirs was in the next room and heard everything. Shweta was so traumatised after this incident that she could not stop shaking for hours.
Separation
According to sources, Shweta has been trying to convince Rahul to agree to a quiet separation. But Rahul is not willing, as such a move could adversely affect his political plans and the ongoing court case on drugs charges.
But the couple is, for all practical purposes, separated. Shweta refuses to go back to Rahul's Mumbai flat and lives in Delhi under the constant watch of her mother
